Looks like you have a tank of water contaminated fuel. Without having a drainable water separating fuel filter it's difficult to do the kind of checking you did to see what the fuel looks like.

I put a secondary fuel filter in my rig many years ago due to this risk.

This winter I helped a member drain his entire fuel system due to getting a load of contaminated fuel that was so bad his engine wouldn't even run. Unfortunately it's a long and messing process. We used the software to engage the lift pump to push as much fuel as we could out of the fuel tank, but then also opened up the tank access under the rear seats and pumped out a not insignificant amount more of the contaminated fuel before adding fresh fuel and re-priming the system and using a new fuel filter.
