Re: fuel line issue

New rubber, when not exposed to alot of oxygen (shouldn't since you
don't want bubbles in your fuel line) should stand up for years before
breaking down. And when the lines do start to fail, they will sweat
biodiesel (best way to describe it).

I personally have the following vehicles running on B100/B99.9 with no
changes to the fuel system.

1986 Ford F250 6.9L + Banks Turbo
1985 Ford F250 6.9L
1992 Ford F250 7.3L + Banks Turbo
1983 Mercedes 300CD

The vehicles listed above have been running bio for around a year
without any problems so far.

Plus my new addition, a 3000 gal tanker truck with a Cat 3208 direct
injection diesel, haven't been running this alot yet, but still no
problems noticed yet.

As far as I know Ford/Chevy/etc didn't start using Viton until the
late 90's.... I think 97' and later. However I could be wrong.
Mercedes started in 95'
