Another Plugged Filter - Help!

Yesterday, on the way to work, Marlene plugged another primary filter (the one next to the lift pump). This time I was able to limp into work becasue the problem didn't manifest itsself until higher speeds (and fuel flow) so, I was thinking that it might actually have been clouded fuel because the temps recently have dropped into the 50° region.

This morning, I pulled the filter and upon examination, I discover there's a thimblefull of black guck in the filterbody...pretty much the same guck as last time!!

What is this stuff! I never had a problem with algae when running on diesel and this crap is thick enough that if it was in my WVO, I'd be seeing it collect on my WVO filter media in the storage and filtering apparatus I have in the garage.
