Had a similar problem over a couple of years with some crappy plastic fuel tanks.

Try this:
Buy some cheap filters (I used sierras) b/c you'll be going through a few.
Add some Starbrite tank cleaner.
Run some gas through and check your filter; it probably has some water, particles and varnish in it. Keep repeating, and after two tanks (50gal) and 4 filters I was golden.
