Diesel filters ---


greetings guys - i have been making and using BIO for a few years now . I have
Nissan Patrol 4.2 TDI - one thing i have noticed is that if i run more than 50%
bio in my fuel blend it tends to break down the Fuel filter in the Truck - it
loosens the fibers and they end up in the last VERY fine filter before the fuel
pump , which means i have to keep spare copper seals for the Banjo nut to the
fuel pump so i can clean it when it blocks up. has anyone else had this problem
???

I have tried a few different Brands of filters - but i suspect they all come out
of the same factory - just different paint on the outside ...

in that situation, if I am concerned, I would simply divert the first quart and toss it back into the collected WVO tank. When I built my system, I added in...

Justin, If I understand you correctly, you are concerned about the settled biodiesel picking up small amounts glycerin from the processed but unsettled fuel....
