When I got my 99T it hadn't been run for 15 years. I drained 4 UK Gallons out the drain plug. VERY smelly it was too :( I then poured a couple of gallons of fresh fuel in, changed the filter, and tried to run the fuel pump without the engine turning over. Unsuprisingly it had failed. I bought a 2nd hand pump, and tried again. I ran the fuel pump for a few minutes, then tried starting the engine. It coughed a bit, and I traced it to the fuel distributor plunger being stuck. So I cleaned that with carb cleaner, and it ran pretty well after that. I thne left it for about a year while I rebuilt the car, and had to buy another fuel pump, but apart from that, it runs very well now!
I didn't need any fuel line cleaner or anything, but maybe I was lucky.
