F/W seperator filters usually is the first filter and usually higher micron...
Being an older truck and never running bio.... like the only thing it'll do is clog the filters with junk. So if you're not having fueling issues... at the same time hpfp's dont like to be starved...

also biodiesel isn't good on hpfp's ie common rails due to the less lubrication. What is biodiesel? Soybean oil that is reacted with a primary alcohol under basic conditions to get the long chain hydrocarbon with a methyl ester.... it's cool chemistry and quite easy to make. The lack of the lubrication properties is why they blend it with regular diesel and is primarily more beneficial to use on older mechanical pump diesels.

Also if your diesel is gelling on you. Cut it with kerosene.
