Everything I've read on using Bio comes down to *Quality* of the mix.
If you can't prove the way this person is brewing the batches is top shelf, you'll probably need a set of filters.

The other possibility is that the cleansing properties of the B100 have started loosening deposits that have built up in your fuel system that are now clogging your filters. You might have to change filters a few times till the system is cleaned out.

The FASS is designed in such a way that if the filters clog it will live.

A virgin run on Bio sometimes results in filter clogging up......good to hear it was a simple fix....and just think....now your tank is cleaner! haha.....

Thats not what b100 bio-diesel is , what that is , is called SVO [ straight vegetable oil ] , then there is WVO [ waste vegetable oil }
bio diesel is a processed [ transesterfication ] veg. or animal-fat , the processing takes the gliserin out of the oil , to make certifiable diesel fuel .
