Our "guberment" is mandating that all diesel sold in the province will be biodiesel by 2010; are there any issues with biodiesel and our 1st gens????

 

100% bio or just a percentage?

Eating the lift pump diaphragm is the most common problem, but you may wind up needing to reseal the injection pump.

 

Only problems with older diesels are natural rubber. You'll probably clog your fuel filter a bunch at first since the Bio is a solvent and will clean the heck out of your fuel system, but that's a good thing in the long run.

You're rotary pump will love the added lubricity since it is 100% lubricated by the medium we are running on. Take it as a good thing. I'm sure they will start out by running B2, B5, or B20 before they go to B100. Way less issues with those blends. I'd rejoice.

 

We mostly have B15 or B20 around here. It's hard on rubber. On my big trucks i've replaced all the rubber lines on them, soooo far ok on the ole dodges. They will start de-laminating internally and coming apart so it's probably going to happen on the dodges also. It's just something else to do on a weekend I guess. Good luck with your truck.
