This is the pump I bought three years ago, works fine, just a bit noisy.

That's true about the container but most PVC and similar containers will hold petrol for a sensible amount of time.

I'd hold on putting new plugs in until you solve the petrol problem or at least have got the meths in the tank and driven it a bit. Simple reason being, a new plug might be faulty - it's rare but not unknown - you may have cleared the fault but by fitting the new, faulty plug have unwittingly created another with similar symptoms.
