Does anyone have a site/company where I can purchase Biodiesel Fuel Lines?

Any companies that would sell Biodiesel Fuel Lines would be appreciated.





Thanks in advance! 5 Stars!



Biodiesel that has not been thoroughly "washed" will still have some methanol which would dissolve any natural rubbers and corrode any brass fittings. If that is your concern then racing quality fuel lines that do not contain rubbers or brass should suffice, nickel plated and stainless steel are best. Of course, properly produced biodiesel would've had the methanol removed so no modification should be necessary.





Then there are those who run diesel engines on unmodified vegetable oils. They do so by starting the engine on regular diesel to warm it up and then switching to heated vegetable oil, the heating is so the oil will flow better. For these greasers, there are fuel lines where there is a water jacket around the fuel line and the vegetable oil tank so that engine coolant can be circulated through the jacket to warm the vegetable oil. You should be able to google for those "kits" but I wouldn't advise modifying your car to be a greaser unless it is a much older diesel car that uses a pre-combustion chamber.




-- For your car?





NAPA, Autozone, Kragen, Murray's or Pep Boys. You need synthetic rubber fuel line, which is the only kind they'll have.





The wrong kind (natural rubber fuel line) has been gone from the marketplace for most of 20 years because they are incompatible with ethanol and MBTE and other modern additives.





If you're getting the drift that there's nothing wrong with the fuel lines on a newer diesel... yeah, that was my intent. On an older diesel car you'd want to inspect the rubber fuel lines simply because they're old. I'd say while you're in there, swap em, fuel hose is cheap.





Steel line usually doesn't fail. If it does, usually it's because of rust, and it's your call whether to replace with steel, or pay 3x the cost for stainless steel.





-- For your home biodiesel brewery?





Use any plastic or metal hose that is naturally resistant to lye, methanol and water. There shouldn't be any lye or methanol in finished biodiesel, unless your source stinks.




your regular fuel lines will work with B5 or B20. To use higher blends of biodiesel is way to expensive to use, thats why B20 is used plus the higher blends tend to gel up and stop fuel flow in cooler climates.
