Howdy all,

I've seen some posts in the past about some of y'all running bio-diesel (and other crazy things) through these c223 engines. I've also heard all the horror stories about bio-diesel gunking up fuel filters and eating rubber hoses. I know that the fuel lines on my 1979 jeep will probably need to be replaced (for one thing, it was gas-powered to begin with) before I run bio diesel through, but what about the rubber on the gaskets/etc in the fuel pump/engine? Have any of you had any trouble with bio-diesel attacking those rubber components? I'm hoping for some personal experience stories here--i.e. "I've been runing b100 for 2 years, and my c223 is still leak-free."

I've always intended to run bio in this engine, but haven't gotten around to replacing the fuel lines yet. A new bio-diesel station opened up only 20 mins from my house, and it's actually cheaper ($2.99/gal) than normal diesel ($3.24/gal). Time to get cracking on bio-proofing my engine I guess.

Thanks all,
