'48 170 Right Wing Tanks

Does the outboard fuel tank on the right wing have a fuel drain that is plugged and not used? If so, have any of you lucky '48 owners installed a drain in the outboard tank? If the drain port is there and blocked off, one of my winter projects will be to install a drain.
Thank you in advance,

No fitting exists for a drain valve in the outboard tank (unless someone has welded one in after it left the factory).

But, the rear interconnect line is positioned pretty well for allowing water to drain to the inboard tank.

Had a 48 for 10 years no need for another drain.
