Biodiesel is hygroscopic and readily absorbs atmospheric moisture. This causes many problems including:

Bag filtration systems are recommended for biodiesel and vegetable oil filtration. Bag filtration systems offer several advantages over cartridge systems.

Growth of micro-organisms is more of a problem with biofuels than with conventional fuels. Both biodiesel and bioethanol are hygroscopic and actively absorb atmospheric moisture which creates suitable conditions for microbes to breed. Sludges form and generally the first effect to be seen is fuel filter blockages. The sludges can accumulate elsewhere in the fuel system and cause more serious engine problems.
