Need help Please!!! ASAP V70R not starting. V70-XC70 1999

Hello all. I'm a newbie to this site and also a newbie Volvo owner.

I have a 1999 V70-R AWD.
Love the car but am having a problem with it running rough, or, not running at all. I recently ran out of gas and a helpfull person stopped and let me use a couple gallons of gas he had in a gas can. Well that got me to a fuel station, filled up and ran fine for 5 days. Then it was hard to start and idled rough. It did that for a couple days, now it won't start at all. I borrowed an OBD-II scanner and found a 0300 code (random missfire). I pulled the spark plugs and found dark and sooty plugs with a foul smell. So I think I may have got some bad gas in my tank. I will put in new plugs after work. I am also replacing the fuel filter tonight and would like to know if I can drain the fuel tank (short of dropping it).

Any suggestions or opinions?

Thanks a bunch!!!!

Brian R.
