id say its dwn to moisture please dont say you left it nearly empty for over a year if so definitely moisture, thats why they say atleast half a tank some fuel stabilizer and a few squirts of wd 40 before you put your car in storage, but im no expert could be something else

yep completely empty (bar about a couple of litres) for nearly 2 years now 
i just check when the last tiem it was actually driven
so, a full tank of fresh optimax, would cure it you reckon....? why would petrol with moisture absorbed into it make it run rich though...?
