Where do you get your fuel at?
Sounds like the tank should be drained, flushed, and then try another station for your fuel in the future.

I just changed mine@ 11,400. It was black,but no mushrooms or moss growing on it. Drained fuel was water- free and clean. No sediment in the canister either. I'll change out the GDP Fleetguard@ 20,000K. The way fuel is going,that'll be awhile. We're driving our Honda Pilot everywhere.

Changed mine at 32K, first time. It was dirty, but I've seen worse on tractors

Can tell no difference in power, SOP dyno!
