Sounds like it might be the screen on the pickup tube in the tank

sounds like you didnt get all of the junk out of the tank when you cleaned it. when you blow on it ,its blowing junk back into the tank and the pump is sucking it back up. i agree with mrmopar.

You will need to get the tank professionally cleaned,its hard to get all the junk out.
