Hey dont worry about the filters thats exactly what is suppose to happen.
In my diesel benz I had to replace my fuel filter because they had
completely plugged up. I decided to break one of the filters open and inside
was a mushy, muddy type gunk. Thats the residue that biodiesel cleans out
of the tanks. My filter got plugged up using b100 after the first full tank
of biodiesel. Dont forget filters are made to filter, so if they get dirty
just replace them a little more often and be happy their doing their job. No
need to be conced espically if the fuel is to spec like you stated.

Hello everyone,
Last week, a person I known went with his truck to a local dealer for a
check up. In there, they discover inside the diesel filter a strange mud
that looks like a aquous phase with suspended solids in it. The mud plugged
the fuel filter and it has to be replaced. This person used, for 2 months,
B20 on his truck (Volvo), and he said to the local dealer that in fact he
had tried some biodiesel in his vehicle. The dealer said to him: that's why
your fuel filter his in bad shape, the fuel was contaminated.To me this is
nonsense since the biodiesel he used meet the EN 14214 fuel specifications.I
think that the origin of the strange mud, could be from the water
acumulation in the fuel tank and lines, combined with the cleaning action of
the biodiesel.
What do you think?
