Until you get the crappy fuel out of the tank and the tank cleaned you will keep plugging up filters.
This could slow down the filter plugging. When the returning fuel gets back to the fuel tank it enter the tank at a higher level then down at the bottom. Assuming that the gunk is heavier than the fuel most of it should also be down on the bottom.
If you swap the positions of your Fuel Inlet Hose with the Fuel Out let hose it will allow you to draw fuel from a higher point inside of the fuel tank and hopefully not pull in so much gunk.
The drawback is that you will need to make sure you tank is
kept filled above the 1/2 tank level as because you are pulling fuel from a higher position in the Fuel Tank it would mean you would also run out of Fuel before your Gas/Fuel gauage shows empty.
