Starting car after sitting awhile

Just picked up a car that had been sitting for awhile and the fuel was real low. Got it to start but wouldn't keep going. Added a couple gallons of fuel and got her moving but as I drove home about 10 miles the check engine light would come on under acceleration. You think this is just a bit of bad gas / water in the fuel that will work itself out or is there something else to be concerned with?
Any ideas would be great.
1988 900S w/180K or so
Also the clutch pedal is half as close to the floor as the brake pedal? Can this be adjusted or ??? Seemed to drive ok other than the real short throw.
