sometimes when a tank is being filled it does stir up the junk. But, they do have filters. However, low tanks are subject to greater surface areas which can lead to condensation and the addition of water to the fuel. So, you might have had a combination of crummy fuel (you did buy at a walmart, the captain of crummy) and/or a bit of extra water in the fuel. the fuel and water would not mix properly, so you'd have a splash blend. Over a little bit of time, it would separate, and you'd get uneven running for a time, but not neccessarily the entire tank, depending on where your fuel pick-up is located.
