DO NOT, just put a battery on it and try to start it. That will condemn the pmp instantly. You need to pull the fuel pump and clean it up. Take it apart if you have to. Or, you could turn the key to on and see if it comes on right away and if it doesn't, turn the ket off right away. Thing is though, if it works then it will suck the crappy gas in and that will clog it up. So, just take it out and clean it up well while you're draining the tank and cleaning the fuel lines.

Thanks
David
