Ben,

Gasoline will break down after only about 3 months unless a stabilizer is added. Then you should not let it set more than about a year. Also as an electric fuel pump engineer I can tell you that the fuel pump will not last if it sucks up a bunch of water or debris. So get the old gas out of there.
