If the gas wasn't drained out prior to storage then its possible that the gas is varnished. In this case drain the gas and change the fuel filter then add new gas. If the gas smells more like rubbing alcohol then gas its a good sign that its not any good. If gas is good move on to next step: Locate the fuel rail under the hood. It will have a pressure release valve similar to the filler valve on the air conditioning line. With the key in the on position, engine not running, take a small tool like a flat headed screw driver and push the valve in just like you would to let air out of a tire. Be very cautious as fuel will/should spray out. If no fuel spray and or very little fuel spray have a helper attempt to start the vehicle while you push in valve again be extremely CAUTIUOS as any spark can ignite the fuel. Best to have a fire extinguisher at the ready. If fuel spray is very weak or none at all then your problem is caused by a faulty fuel pump. Make sure to check the fuse before replacing the fuel pump. Also check that the fuel shut off switch hasn't been tripped if equipped. This can usually be found on the passenger side foot board located under the kick panel. Hope this helps :)
