If it's been sitting for 6 years, then you need to drop the tank and remove the fuel pump and inspect the inside of the tank. You will probably need a new fuel pump too.

The fuel lines may be clogged and gelled up. They should be fairly easy to replace on that vehicle. And as Hammer Time said, check the fuel tank.
