It sounds like you might have diesel mould ... you can get treatments for that too

Drain & clean tanks.

If you picked up water, send servo the bill.

Are you saying that the fuel filter (under-bonnet one) is getting clogged? Does the filter display huge build-up of contaminant? What about the in-between tank filter? If you can clog that big filter in 100km then you have some serious business going on inside the tanks. They will most likely then need to be removed and cleaned.
