Well it does appear according to that article that an advanced case may plug and not flow through. In my personal experience though treating them will allow them to flow through and be burned off. I have done this numerous times. I have owned probably more than forty diesel cars and trucks. Trying to treat them seems like a no brainer to me since no harm can be done by treating it.

That advanced case shown in the article would plug the tank strainer. Anything coming through the strainer should be stopped by the clear filter on the side of the engine and anything coming through that should be stopped by the big filter that looks like a small oil filter.
