I never heard of any problems with Duramax, only the newer VWs with particulate filters. I don't use any special filtering, just change my vehicle filter at the recommended interval. I've had more issues plugging filters from bad diesel than biodiesel because my B100 is filtered to 1 micron.

I've put over 200k on three vehicles running B100 with no fuel related issues other than winter gelling (which really really sucks). Of course I needed to replace the injector returns on my old Mercedes with viton, and I had my ALH VW fuel pump re-sealed with viton as well.
