Default 89crxsi(stock) dying out and not starting

the other night my 89 stock si ef, starting puttering down the highway, i would throw it in neutral and kinda rev to get it going again. It stalled and wouldnt start, it was getting spark, it kinda seemed like it wasnt getting fuel. It hadnt been driven for like 2 years. I added some 91 octane but it still had some bad old fuel. Any suggestions id appreciate it thanks.

take the sending unit out and look inside the tank, more then likly theres prolly rust in it if it has been sitting for that long with just a little bit of gas in it, if theres rust in there i would suggest just buying a new one and replace the fuel filter and clean the screens in the injectors
