Gas after setting 2 years

I've been rebuilding my car for the last 2 years and am probably a week away from fireing it up for the first time in 2 years. Will the gas be bad after that long? if so how do I get it out of the tank? Will it "varnish" and clog anything?

Thanks

Well first off congrats 2 years is a long time !
How much gas is in the tank? If there only a couple of gallons just fill the rest up with premium and you should be fine just change the fuel filter after that tank is burned up.
If you have alot of gas like a full tank of 2 year old gas you might want to syphon out at as much as possible. Just rember to change the fuel filter after a full tank ahs be burnt.
