Kirk First and foremost important thing is remove all the fuel existing and clean your fuel filter, there might be residue of old bad gas still in it. if possible change it. These are my 2 cents :) Wish you get out of the problem at the earliest. Experts, please advise

Drain your tank and get rid of that fuel, use it in another car depending on how bad it is. Just replace the fuel filter, then your are done and add good fuel and prime it.
