Technical question, but non-Porsche so it's in OT.

I need to drain bad gas out of one of my other cars - it had been sitting in the garage since 2008 when I got it back on the road a month or two ago. I sort of knew that I should drain the gas out, but I procrastinated finishing the car and when I was down to the wire I didn't have time, so I put a couple of gallons of new gas in it and hoped for the best. Car runs like crap, so the gas has gotta come out. Maybe the injectors need to be cleaned, but obviously the first thing I'm going to do is replace the gas and the fuel filter and sew how it runs then.

Fuel pump is in-tank. Access is through the top of the tank, under the back seat cushion. There is a gasket to the access port in the top of the tank that should be replaced that I don't have a replacement for yet, so I'd rather not open the tank up if I don't have to. Is it reasonable to drain the tank by powering the fuel pump through the harness and just running the fuel filter input line into a bucket? Is it going to take forever to do it this way? There's a first time for everything, and this is the first time for me for this.
