The diesel equipment was designed for the fuel available at the time of design and a few years projected standards- most states didn't have a notice about Bio-diesel requirements 5 years back, EPA didn't tell the manufacturer to prepare for different standards. The main concern previously was the proposed low sulfer fuel standard similar to european fuel- seals and pumps were redesigned with that in mind- not the clogging, varnishing oxidation problems showing up with bio-diesel in mass distribution. Don't blame the manufacturer for all the problems. Note that Gasahol when it first came out in late 70s caused some problems in older vehicles, new vehicles are running on 10% ethanol and some are designed to be able to use E85- but this is after 25 years since introduction. A cynical conspiricy believer would say the government and manufacturers are trying to sneakily destroy the older vehicles on the road to make you buy a new, more expensive model and provide them with more money in their pockets.
