Automatic cutting out????????

Hiya guys.
New on here, been living in spain for 15 yrs.
I have a terrano 'll 99 which I've looked after for over 10 yrs. I've owned it for 3 yrs.
My issue is, got given fuel which was in a dirty can( didn't look at it was pitch black.)
Created a shite storm of issues where my fuel went black.
Cleaned out fuel tank, changed filter fitted inline filter. Cleaned out little gauze filter in top of pump. Changed rubber hoses from filter.
But it still cuts out when I'm driving normally after 15-20 mins, which is strange for an auto.
If I try to start it straight away I get clouds of black smoke, normally 10+ times trying to start. But now I've noticed if I leave it with ignition off for a minute or more it starts no problem.
I do hope someone can help me.
Cheers.
