It sounds to me like you are still having a periodic fuel starvation problem, replacing the sediment bowl with an in-line filter was not a bad thing to do, but it will not solve the problem if there is rust, scale,etc. in the tank. You need to remove the fitting which is screwed into the tank, and adapt a fine mesh, cylinder shaped screen to that fitting. The screen should be made of brass, about 1 to 1 1/2 inches long, and pinched shut at the top. JB weld works good for holding it in place.
Here's a hint, the fuel inlet screen in the carburetor is just about perfect for this application, so if you have an old one, use it. It can be removed from the fitting it is in by heating with a small propane torch.
