If you see rust, you'll need to flush the tank or even have it blasted or chemically cleaned. On my '88 which sat with bad fuel for about 10 years, I had to replace the tank as it was too far gone along with the injectors. You will no doubt want to examine the fuel lines, then move on to replacing plugs. Fresh oil & filter, and new battery then see if it goes. Good luck.

Definitely don't want to send any of that crud into the fuel distributor, though it will probably need to be cleaned and/or rebuilt anyway.
