Ray-- sounds good but new rubber hoses are still just rubber hoses, and 
are not biodiesel-proof.

Newer diesels, meaning post 1997, generally have biodiesel-proof lines, 
but they are special hoses, not what you'll find on the shelf at NAPA 
unless they are Viton or Therban.

However, you can run biodiesel for many months before your old lines 
will have any problem.

hey, new dumb guy here... Ive got a 1992 7.3 diesel and I've read 
several
places that if you have late 90's diesel,engine your fuel lines will 
stand up to
  bio.  So, I'm just going to napa and have them tell me where ever 
there is
non-metalic fuel lines from the tank through to the injectors and back, 
I'll
just replace with rubber that was manufactured this year or back a year 
or two
  off their shelf. that should keep me chugging down the road for a  
while
