1997 4.6 won't start

ok guys and gals, first time poster long time reader. I have a 1997 f150, last time I drove it was May, been sitting in the same spot the whole time. Parked it with 1/8 tank of fuel, battery went dead, charged it to full cap., truck is dead, cranks over fine, tried to start at first, no fuel to the schrader valve, tried a new fuel pump relay, got some fuel to the rail, then nothing, can fuel filter really clog that bad just sittin'

Best thing you can do is try a new filter. They are not that expensive and need to be changed about every 30k or so. Also I would get some fresh gas added to that tank. Sitting for a long time is not good for fuel without a stabilizer added to it.
