Polish Fuel

Look in the phone book for a company that will "polish" your fuel. It will be filtered clean and they will clean the tank at the same time.

Clean it yourself

I had a similar problem, and the "polishing' folks wanted $300. So I pumped out the tank into jerry cans, cut a hole in the top of the tank and installed a 4 inch inspection plate. Then I used oil absorbing cloth (cheap) and wiped and cleaned until the fuel tank was spotless. Never had a problem since; that was three years ago. Use a biocide with every fill up afterward
