Siphon it out. This literally just happened to me. The automatic cutoff did not stop it, and it got gas all over the side of my car, on my pants, and on my shoes. Is yours having cutoff problems too?

Well, I'm confused. Are you asking about the cooling system overflow tank, or the fuel tank? FWIW, the auto cutoff is integral to the pump, not the car.

Where is the radiator cap and drain plug on a 1996 Saturn SL2?

Well the Saturn creator decided to be dumb and put only one radiator cap!! Its Its on the overflow tank (on the passenger side near the back wall of the engine bay). Its the only way to the radiator. The drain plug is underneath the radiator on the passenger side. Just rotate the petcock (you may have to pull it once rotated) then the fluid drains out. Don't forget to take the cap off of the overflow tank when draining the coolant!
