Change the spin on filter. If the see thru was that bad then the spin on filter would be worse as its able to stop alot more debris from going through.

Hi guys,
I have been running b100 for a year now in my '76 300d. About 50,000kms. In the colder winter months, I cut down to b20 or so.
The power is less, but it's so much smoother, smells nice. Running on pork right now.

Your issue with water is typical of some manufacturers. Sounds like the manufacturer is water washing the biodiesel to remove the glycerin. The makers cheaped out on the water separation equipment. If it is true ASTM biodiesel, there will be cleaner, with less water than dino diesel.

I have been working in the biodiesel industry now for almost two years I think. We've recently completed our processor.
