Two issues-- Both Caterpillar and Cummins have published maximum bio concentrations for their engines (varies by year and engine family). I suspect their engineers have done their homework-- certainly to a higher level than our "internet speculation".

The possibility of buying a new engine because of issues would be a risk I certainly would not take!
