I do NOT have 2 clear primary filters. I have the same primary and secondary spin-on filter like everyone else. I installed a diesel/water separator before the primary filter, and a heater before it. Look at the lower right hand corner of the picture. The aluminum shape box is the heater with 2 glow plugs, then it goes to the d/w separator, then to the primary filter etc. I bought the heater but wired up the electric and relays myself. I have done 30K on alternative fuel on this set up without any problem. Engine is running strong and smooth but it is due for a valve adjustment. I changed out my pri/sec filters at about 8000+ miles interval.

Running B100 will etch up more crap from the tank. You need to do something to prevent it, otherwise you will be changing filters like a disc jockey.

Hope this help.
