I started running bio in Apr/May of '05. I ran B5 until about Sept when I had my fuel guy mix me up some B40. Next 550gal. was B20. Since then it's been too cold so I've been running B2. I had absolutely no probs until November, shortly after MN mandated all diesel be B2. I had a couple filters plug on the barrel and one or two in the truck. How could I go all summer with no probs and 20X the bio???? I smell a rat, a BIG OIL-ly rat. The filters were dirty, not waxy or gelled.
I read in the St. Paul Pioneer Press last week that there has been hundreds of truckers having problems with bio. Seems their filters are all plugging up. According to the article, it's soy diesel with its higher glycerin content that's the culprit.
I'm sure it has nothing to do with the crap refineries have been sending out for the last 50 years.
Loading tanks and lines with crap and now something comes along to clean them out and it's the "cleaner" that's causing the problem.
