CaptFun, even a manual pump connected to a plastic tube ziptied to a wooden dowel will get you to the bottom of the tank. Pump and see what comes up. Pump until what comes up is clean diesel. I`ve done it.
For prevention, you need to work out how the foreign matter got there. One bad fill,defective tank filler seals, whatever.
I`m assuming you have no inspection ports on the side of your tanks, and no drains at the bottom.
