With some luck the petrol was treated with Sta-bil or some such product before storaqe, or the tank completely emptied prior. Check the black 'rubber' support round the fuel pump inside of the tank. If it is even slightly 'goopy' you should replace it, and remove any fuel from the entire system, including the fuel injection rail, before cranking it over to start, even with fresh petrol added.
