No start after filling up with B99...

I filled up at the pump last night with B99 and my car wouldn't start this morning. Ran great yesterday on the biodiesel, but this morning no dice. Changed primary FF cause it was pretty dirty. Here's what happens. I crank the car, it sounds like it's about to start and blows a lot of white smoke but it just never quite takes to running by itself. My glowplug light quit working a couple of days ago, but I never had any trouble starting before the B99. I've run bio in my car before, but it has probably been a month or more and I just returned from about a 4000 mile trip to colorado. So it seems like the motor is getting fuel, cause it's smoking. What would cause it not to take? I put my multi-meter on my glowplugs and they were getting current. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot.
