Default 9 Month Old 92 oct Gas. Clean Out Tank???

My engine is going back into my car Thursday and want to have it all back together so I can fire it up this weekend. I never though about it when i pulled the motor 9 months ago but there is still 92 octane gas in there. It is just under a quarter of a tank if I remember right. I'm thinking it has probably got all gummy and separated and what not right? Should I clean it out or just add new gas to mix with it. Is nine months too long to sit. Sat through Mild Oregon summer and pretty cool to cold Oregon winter.

Also I pulled the intake manifold of with the whole top end of it still connected. EX. injectors, fuel rails, plenum, throttle body, etc. I made sure the fuel drained out the back of the fuel rails when i took it off so it wouldnt spill everywhere. Am I gonna need to pull the injectors out and clean them up to. They are 42# if that matters. Thanks
