    fuel line replacement for biodiesel

    Alright just an update, If you want to change your fuel lines you'll need about 3 ft of 3/8th and maybe 4 ft of 1/4 . I didn't change the drain line so you'd need more for that.

    fuel line replacement for biodiesel

    You know WVO is a great option, and very functional. I think it works better on older vehicles such as ours or the older Mercedes benz diesels. I think bio also has it's place in vehicle which have tighter tolerances and if you don't want to modify the vehicle for cold weather operation. I've...

    fuel line replacement for biodiesel

As I understand them fuel water separators use gravity to separate the water by giving it a location to fall to and by slowing the flow down enough...

    fuel line replacement for biodiesel

    Water in biodiesel is definately a concern, If suspended or emulsified water makes it to the ip it immediately boils out and does damage. As with all things though the product is a direct result of the amount of effort you put in. When making good biodiesel you need to wash out the leftover...

    fuel line replacement for biodiesel

    It depends on how old your fuel lines are. If there is real rubber involved, biodiesel will degrade, and eventually destroy them. Mercedessource.com has a fuel line that is biodiesel rated, but it's $18/8ft, so I didn't want to order more than I need, or the wrong sizes. I think some of it is...

    fuel line replacement for biodiesel

    Has anyone replaced their fuel lines for biodiesel use? It looks like there are at least two different sizes. Anyway I was wondering if any one knows what size viton lines I'll need and how much, that stuff is expensive! I don't want to buy to much, but I definately don't want to buy to...
