If the gas is bad, which it may be, you will probably want to replace the fuel filter as well. If the old fuel had a chance to varnish, there will be particles floating around in the tank and possibly even varnish in the fuel filter that will limit the flow.

With the fuel filter off, you could pump let the fuel pump drain the fuel tank, but be careful if you choose to do this. The fuel will be under a lot of pressure and can easily splash, plus even though it's old, it's still flammable. Also, electric fuel pumps don't like to run dry, so as soon as the pump stops pumping fuel, shut it off. Dispose of the fuel properly.

Since the fuel pump will not completely drain the tank, you will want to replace the fuel filter again after a couple of tanks of fuel.

If you want to be very thorough, you could drop the tank once empty, remove the fuel pump, and clean out the tank completely. If you've gone this far, you may want to consider spending the extra $100 or so and put a new fuel pump in as well.
