Abstract

Filter plugging issues at the Bloomington Bus Company (Minnesota) involved 12 of the fleet's 109 buses experiencing problems. The initial assumption was that biodiesel fuel used in Minnesota in January was the issue. However MEG Corporation inspected the filters and found them clogged with paraffin wax associated with petroleum rather than glycerin associated with biodiesel.
