CG,
What did the crap/foam look like that made it to your tank? Color, size would be helpful.
It looked very similar if not the same as the first picture you posted with the exception to the string looking item. Most were small crumb size yellow in color(foam is yellow) for the most part but a few were pea sized. Just a lot of filth settled on the bottom of the tank generally. The tank would come clean but the sloshing action of the fuel was breaking more foam free so it get all filthy again.
How did fresh water get in the tank? If you are not sure it may be from a hole in the tank. I also expearenced that as well. The outrage I have sat up for 5 years with 20 gallons of gas in it so I always thought it was old filthy gas and the tank was just that dirty from varnished gas.
Tank pressure test would have saved me a lot of time. Your story sounds almost exactly like mine by the way.
