i would get rid of that fuel. just disconnect the sending line from the motor and pump all the fuel out using the fuel pump.

Might want to run some fuel tank cleaner through it also. Maybe replace the fuel lines and fuel pump filter since your back there.

connecting a jumper to 30 and 87, on the fuel pump relay, is probably the easiest way to let the pump run. don't run the pump dry though.
