Old gas in my 280e

My 84 280e euro has been unused for a couple of years now. I put stabilizer in the fuel a couple of times but it does not last forever. Yesterday I started it up and it would not fire on all six even after running for a while. It seems to have about 2/3 a tank. If I drain out the gas and put in fresh with some fuel injector cleaning stuff will it clear the plugged injectors or is it a waste of time? Do I have to pull the injectors and clean them individually?

I am mainly a diesel head so these gassers are a little mysterious to me!
