I've heard of people having filter issues when they go straight to B99, but maybe there filters were old when they switched.
I carry both filters in the car and would even if I only used petro.

There is some good info at this site. http://www.biodieselnow.com/
They have a forum as well.
Nope....it was definitely crap in the tank. Eventually had to replace the pickup scree and got 2/3 cup of black sand like crap out. The prefilter seemed to catch all of it, but it became a PITA to change it. Since I don't know the history of the car and with it's relatively low mileage when I got it, I would bet that it could have had previous fuel issues.
No problem at all since.
