And that would probably have been the best place to start the system cleanout but hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Yes sir. The pre-filter is showing dirt. The separator/filter is the one I described as not filling but showing a water fall type action. At rest it is about 1/3 full of fuel.

Thinking I might go ahead and tackle draining and flushing the tank. Any suggestions on process?

I thought you had an O&M Manual.? Process is fairly simple. Get the fuel level pretty low, locate the tank drain underneath (it will be in one of two possible locations), park the machine overnight with the tank slightly inclined towards the drain location, then remove the drain plug carefully. Be prepared with sufficient containers to catch whatever is in the tank.

Yes sir. That gets it drained but it needs a good flush after that.

Pressure washer via the filler neck.? That appears to be the only option if the tank is not going to be removed. The fuel level sensor #3 in the other side of the tank is also removable.
