I doubt that anything you could suck through the lift pump would create a gum that would disable the IP in 20 miles. (unless you were trying to run JB Weld)
First put a charger on your battery.
Remove the hardlines from the top of the IP and the injectors. Just unscrew the fittings and move them to the side, no need to remove them from the car. Blow them out or just let them drip.
Remove the fuel source line from the tank at the lift pump
Attach a fuel line to the lift pump and put some clean fuel fuel in a bottle and put the fuel line in it.
(For the clean fuel I might use some ATF)
Install a new fuel filter filled with ATF
Loosen the banjo bolt for the fuel line on the IP
Pump the primer until clean ATF runs out of that fitting
Tighten the banjo bolt fitting
Now crank the engine over. You are attempting to clear the IP of bad fuel.
As each of the fuel fittings starts spewing clean ATF, stop and reattach the hardline at the IP
As each of the fuel lines starts spewing clean ATF at the injector end, stop and reattach the hardline to the injector.
If you get this far, you should be fine. If you get the engine running then you have the rest of the fuel system to clean out.
Tank
Tank strainer
Fuel source and return lines
Pre-filter
Good Luck
