B10 to B50 (10% and 50% respectivly) Shouldent pose much of a problem with lines, rings seals etc. Biodiesel is kind of a solvent so high consentrations will eat rubber seals and rings. If you want to run the pure home brew biodiesel then your gonna need all synthetic rins hose and seals.

The Soy oil shouldnt hurt-be leary of the alcohol however.Isnt big brother great? if they add anymore safety equipment on new vehicles they will truly be unaffordable-Do antilock brakes actually function on trucks now? I know I still despise them on small vehicles .IMHO the shoulder belts were the greatest and best safety device ever put on a vehicle only second to a good defensive safe driver and the truckers are among the best-Kevin

Here is another question; Will DPF's prevent us from using bio-diesel? What about strait vegetable oil conversions?

I think Diesel used peanut oil for his demonstration engine.
