first it won't get past the fuel filter so you don't need to replace it. then you can take your tank down and clean it out. there should be a filter on your fuel pump as well. that is the most i would do ro any pro would do. replacing the fuel filter which is right by the tank is also a good idea.

then check the fuel pressure and scan for codes. it should have 60-66 if its agas engine except for a 7.4L that should be 56-62 psi. i'd bet that it would be a fuel filter problem though. worse case it may be a pump which you would have to pull the tank anyhow and you could wash it out then...
