Problems with diesel stored poorly?

When my parents stopped driving, they just parked their 1980s full-size diesel in the garage. It's been sitting for about three years, with fuel in the tank and lines, oil in the motor, etc. What would be involved in getting it on the road again? My brother says that diesel fuel that sits develops a fungus that ruins the lines, pump, injectors, etc. True?
