Hello Ian,
if treated with anti-oxidizing agents, and
produced from oil with a moderate peroxide number, the biodiesel should be
consumed within three months.
10 microns is a normal filter size for
diesel engines, unless equipped with a common-rail system. So, filtering at 10
microns is good, 5 microns even better assuming that the biodiesel has an
abnormal content of solids which will lead to filter clogging very rapidly. Pay
attention to the markings "absolute" and "nominal" on the filter spec. There is
a huge difference between those two.
The biodiesel should be ready for instant
consumption if it´s clear and bright and without sediments.
With best regards
