You should probably find this piece of 'garden' hose, rip it out and put properly rated fuel hose in it's place. Garden hose is obviously not designed for fuel oils and is probably being broken down by the diesel. Flush the tank if you can or you'll probably have to keep cleaning the water trap/bowl until it all runs through or you could temporarily fit an inline filter.
