Removing sludge won't make them go mushy....

I don't know if there is really a problem, I've not seen any with the B5 or B10 I'm getting at the COOP here (not labled, might in fact not be biodiesel, for that matter!).

However, biodiesel is a fatty acid methyl ester, not a linear hydrocarbon like most of diesel fuel is (the rest is sulfur compounds and cyclic molecules of various sorts), so there could easily be incompatibilities -- the biodiesel is much more polar and may soften and/or penetrate rubbers compounded for exposure to non-polar hydrocarbons.
