Husband thought the truck was gelling up. Took it in, they put in a new fuel filter. Since the tank was almost half full, the mechanic told him to put a 70/30 mix of fuel in it, which should dilute the current blend of biodiesel enough to prevent it from gelling up again. Didn't work. The next day the same problem happened. Truck ran pretty rugged and had to put the pedal all the way to the floor before the truck would move. Another mechanic just told him it's the biodiesel that's clogging the fuel filter and that the truck isn't gelling up at all. Is this true? Other than not putting biodiesel in the tank, what can be done to prevent this? The last mechanic said he'll probably run through 4 or 5 fuel filters before the truck is back to normal.
