[Re: meapoho] #827267 07/29/07 02:46 PM Joined: May 2006 Posts: 212 Sapello NM USA 87745 OutfitBoss Wheeler Hello I have run 100% biodiesel since Spring with no problems. Haven't changed any hoses yet, but I imagine I will before next season. I buy whatever diesel engine oil I can find in the 10 -40 range as the book suggests. I have changed all the filters since I bought my Trooper last Fall. All replacement are from NAPA right out of their books. I love my Troopers Brian Rodgers <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> Brian Rodgers Internet traffic relayed through DIY solar powered WiFi tower. www.outfitnm.com 1989 Isuzu Pup gasser 2-86 Isuzu Trooper turbo diesels (1 good 1 bad) Many gallons of biodiesel since 2005 Re: 1986 trooper TD oil/air/fuel what to use ?

What you will see is the fuel lines soften, maybe swell, depending on the condition of the rubber when you start with biodiesel. Most of the rubber in the three vehicles I have been running on 100% biodiesel during non-freezing weather for two years, was so hard to begin with that most of it is holding up very well.
