Re Bio-diesel, It is a type of solvent. It will loosen any debris in the fuel system. It will deteriorate items containing Natural rubber (even if the item contains a small percentage of natural rubber ). Within the Bio-Diesel community, it is recognised that the fuel filter change frequency must be increased until the filters are clear. It is similar to using flushing oil in an engine. You should not just use Bio-diesel without taking these issues into consideration. This information from a work collegue who had done a lot of research into Bio-diesel. He runs a Toyota Hilux.
