i have an 81 caddy that i want to run bio-diesel but ive been told that the fuel will eat up the natural rubber lines... where do i find synthetic line? im in the portland area if you know a specific place id love to know.

Hmmm... none of the lines are natural rubber, as ANY diesel fuel will dissolve natural rubber or neoprene rubber. Just fill it and go... won't hurt a thing.

Possibly your question should be: Where can I find injection pump seals that will not be degraded by biodiesel over 20% concentration in petroleum diesel. I hear that the magic word is Viton rubber. I'll need some new seals eventually.
