the concern for flat spots is the car will be outdoors in the elements with no cover, in direct sunlight, covered in snow, in the parking lot out front of my place.
I also found water in the spare tire well
as for the fuel tank... tbh I don't know the situation there IIRC it needs either a new fuel pump or a fuel filter. The gas in it is already about a year old too but thanks for mentioning it I woulda overlooked that.

Throw some bounce sheets on the front & rear floors, smell nice and rodents hate that stuff.
Fill your muffler tip with steel wool so no rodents try and get in and make a home.
And as mentioned fill up the tires an extra 10 psi, I actually inflated them to max psi. I've never jacked up the car when storing my cars, never had issues with flat spots.
