It will sound better once it gets some good gas in her.
If the tank is empty go ahead and drop it and check it real good for rust.the worst thing you can do sometimes is let a tank set empty they will rust up pretty quick.
Lacquer thinner will start an engine that has sat a long time and will not hurt any thing.It will not miss fire/detonate like starting fluid can and will do.
I really hope she fire up and runs good for you.
I get the feeling the shop this van was at did not have a clue what they where talking about.....

I really hope to see this van at an event some where this summer....
She is becoming a true "Survivor"
