Biodiesel does not like rubber. B20 won't affect your hoes and o rings lift pumps etc as fast as straight biodiesel and B5 will take a lot longer but it will affect thme eventually. BioDiesel is essentially soybean oil or corn oil, **** seed oil with the glycerin washed out.
Older engines pre 07 like our Cat it is pure murder on the rubber.
Newer engines after 07 the rubber components ar not as succeptible.
I'm not read up on what the new compounds and how much lnger they resist Biodiesel.
Biodiesel has a much higher lubricity than the green ultra low sulfur diesel we have to use, unless your run farm equipment.
I don't want but a few gallons of B5 in the tank B20 is a no no.
Cat quoted me something over 16,000.00, I think, to replace crank seals, lift pump seals, and hoses and o rings and so on.
I fill up before I cross state lines where they force you use Biodiesel.
In parts of Arizona it was all we could find in many locations.
It is all politics of money and no use in getting upset about all this again.
Just that everyone here, with a little fire, left in them, needs to run for office and displace all the yahoos, in Government, doing this to us.
