02 Fuel lines compatable with Bio??

Are the fuel lines on an 02 compatable with Bio-diesel?? My freind is haveing fuel pressure issues. The IP was replaced and still having the same issue. It will run fine for about 5 minutes and then it runs bad. I have not looked at it yet so I don't know what "bad" is. He also says there are no codes. He has been running B100 for about 3 months. Thanks for the help!!

Aaron

B100 may be too "thick" viscosity wise for the VP44 injection pump. I would suggest thinning it down some with petro diesel and see if it runs better. Fuel lines should be compatible with biodiesel fuel. Any diesel vehicle manufactured after 1994 should be OK.

Also check to make sure the lift pump is working and providing decent pressure.
