I plan on running a tank of B5 (all we can get around here) before my next filter change for that reason.

I'm planning on picking up some b-99 or b-100 tomorrow to mix in with with my fuel based on the lubricity test chart, will be running about 2 and1/2 percent bio to ULSD. Should I be looking to change my filters again with only 20.000 miles? And what is the EBP valve?

The EBP should not care, mine didn't. I would carry a spare filter and wrench in case!! You should be OK, but you never know. My '04 filter got changed, but it was not necessary. It looked good.

What is the EBP?

Exhaust Back Pressure valve. It is located on the drivers side head assembly. It monitors the exhaust back pressure and sends that information to the PCM (Process Control Module) so it van adjust the turbo vanes.

It looks to me that you would have less trouble with all these valves(EGR, EBP, etc.) if everything ran cleaner. It appears by the posts I have seen on the bio-diesel that the engines run cleaner, therefore less EGR valve troubles etc. Am I right to assume this?

YES that is correct after you have used BIO for a while. It is just the frist tank or two that may cause some problems, and that is why I suggest you carry a filter and a wrench with you at all times. I do.
