Maple Street biodiesel is giving filters a hard time
Over the past month, three trucks in my shop came in with the same problem. All had filled up at the new biodiesel station on Maple. The filters were packed with a waxy residue. It seems their blend doesn't play nice in cold weather. One owner had to replace the entire fuel system. I'd avoid that place until they sort it out. Save yourself a tow and a headache.

Seems overblown (but what do I know?)

Yeah, biodiesel can really screw things up when it gets cold. The stuff turns to wax and clogs everything. I saw a friend's pickup stall out on the highway last winter after using a similar blend. Had to clean the whole fuel line, cost him a fortune. Some stations don't blend it right for the season, so it's a gamble. Always check the blend ratio before filling up in winter.
