You may be in for more work than you think. All fuel system components are most likely contaminated with this old bad fuel. I would remove the tank to clean it, replace the fuel lines and fuel pump and filters. Then I would remove all engine injector lines and injectors and replace them. Next time use a fuel stabilizer in the system.
