BD "Slime" in filter bowl?

I am new to this forum so this is a question that may have already been answered. We are seeing a white "slime" in the bottom of our filter bowls on the in bed tanks of some of our trucks. We fuel up our equipment out of these tanks. We are in Indiana and this started around late Oct. We get all our on road fuel at a large truck stop chain. It has been tested and is not a fungus, the Co. that performed the test said they have no idea what it is and have never seen anything like it. Any ideas?

Is this B100 or a mix? Is it homebrewed or commercial? I suspect it is poorly washed and not thoroughly dried and you are getting a soapy drop out.

B20 commercial mix

What we are buying is a b20 commercial, over the road. We have never had this problem with this vendors fuel before and have been using them for about 3 years. It all started around mid Oct.
