Default Diesel at Walmart pumps

I was getting some fuel for the truck last night and saw that the warning sticker on the pump had changed. Instead of the low sulfur warning sticker, Walmart now has a sticker on the pump stating that they are adding no more than 5% biodiesel in their fuel. Should I be happy or should I worry more about my filters?

From what I have read you should be happy, you may go through a filter or 2 untill your tank gets cleaned out of any crud, but it will run quieter and smoother and the fuel system will be better lubricated. I had my 11 year old tank open the other day and it was spotless, so you may have a clean tank and nothing to worry about.

Your truck will be ok. Its guys that run older trucks like me that may run into problems. I forget what it is but something in the bio fuel eats the rubber parts in the pump and stuff.
