hmmmmmm. I would drain the tank and KEEP THE STUFF for future testing. Also collect all your fuel receipts you can get your hands on to prove where you've been filling up.

Install a CLEAR fuel filter in the fuel line somewhere to see if you have algae growing. You might be able to also see if you have water in the fuel. Refill the tank from somewhere that sells ALOT of diesel such as a truck stop.

If changing to another vendors fuel solves the problems you should approach the service station owner.
