"I have difficulty starting en

"I have difficulty starting engine and need lots of wd40/ether. When it starts it has low power with intermitent normal-level power surges (especially when boat heels over). Engine was running great ,with only 500 hours on clock. Engine is 30 yrs old. The problem started RIGHT after I put in 10 gallons of Bahama-Islands fuel.
I tried to bleed system and changed both fuel filters with no success. One other symptom that might be related is -one week before Bahaman fuel fill I have been having trouble filling up diesel tank, it keeps overflowing!! so I have to spend 15 mins filling up the 30 gal tank!! just trickling the fuel in to avoid overflow. Should I drain out fuel tank? and rechange filters? Am I simply just not bleeding system properly?"
