Is that so you can run "not so dry" bio, cause as I understand it, is if you dry your bio good enough, you shoudl'nt ahve to worry about water... right?
Just wanted to check!!

They make those filters for Cummins(I think fleetguard does) so if you could find one for your Ford it would not be a bad decision to snag one. I used the crappiest crap filter set i could find on ebay since i figured it would be plugged in no time. Once I change again(maybe), I'll go with a quality one and see, but so far so good. As for the water...the real issues with water in BD is the suspended water(IE water that can easily pass right through a filter). So simply changing your filter to a biodiesel specific one(unless there has been some sort of break through that I'm not aware of) may help reduce some water content... but It not going to solve all of the issues. It would be no different then having water in your regular diesel fuel. A fuel water seperator would do just the same.... infact a FASS system would be a pretty good investment, cause they use fleetguard filters...so you could problay find one for usage in that.
