Gas tank extremely dirty! Messed up my fuel pump! Help!

Alright guys so when I first got the car it had been sitting and the first thing I replaced was the bad fuel pump and it worked great until a few weeks after where the car began to start hard. Now I looked at the pump and the filter is covered in silver/gray gunk (it was very clean when I first installed) and I went ahead and looked and some kind of residue is coming of the tank walls! What can it be and how do I go about cleaning this?

The silver finish in the image, you can also see my hand wipe
Thanks

Clean out the pump again and use a tank cleaner like you inquired about. Infiniti can flush it for you also. You wouldn't believe how many flushes they do because of people putting diesel in.
