My goal was to run biodiesel, but we have not yet put this through the tank because of the type of debris we are experiencing. The picture is of a filter that has been run on 100% commercial diesel from Chevron with a bit of Redline Diesel Fuel Catalyst. This has been going on for about a month.
OK fair enough.

Perhaps this will help

PeachPartsWiki: 240D Fuel Tank Removal and Cleaning

You guys in warmer climates apparently get stuff growing in your fuel tanks - here it is usually cold enough to freeze the balls off of a brass monkey so nothing like that gets a chance to take hold in a fuel tank.

There's also a fuel strainer at the bottom of the tank. Did you remove that one?

In your first post you say you've replaced the fuel lines - does that include the hard lines?
