As a precaution I'd change the fuel filters and drain the tank, refilling with something fresh, then do as you've suggested... I've recently been in very close contact with a Ur quattro that's had fuel stood for 12 yrs and it's desperate (basically, stagnant glue)... Even after a couple of years I'd not trust it... And you really don't want anything nasty up into the fuel metering head...

PS - that looks like a smashing car there... Go for it...
