Try it and see - I'm sure you'll make it home, and back again to tell them they're wrong. We didn't get round to changing the filter for six weeks after starting to use B100, straight from petro-diesel, in a 13-year-old vehicle, no problem at all. A friend put it off for nearly a year, in an 11-year-old car. His filter sure was dirty, but it hadn't clogged, though the B100 he was using isn't the best. US petro-diesel isn't the best either, some of the worst in the world, but I doubt it's that much better here in Japan. There's no official standard for petro-diesel here, for one thing, and some of the stuff sold at the pumps is definitely poor-quality. So give it a try. Carry a spare filter just in case.
