It It Were Mine...

And I had a suitable place to work on it (enclosed shop with concrete floor - proper fire extinguisher nearby), I would either siphon the fuel by disconnecting the fuel filler tube/hose and siphoning with a pump or lowering the tank with a suitable cradle on a floor jack. Dispose of the fuel correctly and have the tank cleaned.

You do not want that fuel getting into the carb, even though most likely the fuel in the carb, pump and lines has gelled anyway.

About what year was the car put into storage? Nice to know as to quality of gasoline that was used in that period.

BTW... The 80/82 BIRD was a sharp looking car.
