Not crud. Water. With all the rain and moisture in the air, the ethanol in the gas absorbs water readily. You can have a brand new tank and a new filter and still have the same effect. The water will not stay on the filter screen but settle back to the lines/tank when the engine is off.
I've fixed several of these back in the day working with dealers and OEM guys.
As I said it's hard to figure out. Dropping the tank is cheaper than hanging a bunch of parts on it.

Also, ethanol fuel starts phase separation in as little as two weeks. So, if you buy gas that's been sitting in a gas station tank for 1 week and you fill up your CJ and don't burn the entire tank within the month = water in your gas.
I only use 100% gas (93 octane) and I mix in Marine Stabil. It's expensive, but it has made a difference in all my carbureted engines.
