Old fuel

Hey My E350 7.3 has been sitting idle for right at 12 months, has been started to move a couple of times and yesterday tried with no start (almost got it). I am going to change the fuel filter but should I drain the 1/4 tank before I go much further.? Any other recommendations?. No codes on my scan gauge.
Thanks,
Tim

Drive it and fill it up, no harm in doing it. Ive used 20 year old diesel before from an old semi my old man had retrired.

Agreed. Fuel is not a worry unless has growth or water within it.

Not starting sounds battery/GP/starter related.
