old diesel fuel

I have a 1992 3/4 ton dodge turbo diesel been setting for about 2 years, I put battery in it the other day turned the key( no water in fuel light) so good there it started just like it did when it was new, but someone said fuel may get mold in it if so what is the best way to cure or what is the best way to start to get fuel tank off thank you for feedback

Dump a bottle of power service in it and drive it.

Stanadyne or Power Service. Toss in a pint and drive it. Or, go to the expense of pumping out the tank, fuel polish it and run it back in.

Put a few gallons of B20 in it and drive it for a couple hundred miles. Then change the oil, fuel and oil filters.
