Re: [Biofuel] FURTHER TO WASHING MACINE PUMP
And more importantly what type of rubber do they have. There are synthetic 'rubbers' and vegetable rubbers. IIRC vegetable rubber is good with mineral oils and petrochemicals but is disolved by vegetable oil. Synthetic rubber is what you want for compatibility with veggie oil. Perhaps all that you need to do is replace the seals. BTW the new heater element I put in my tank (and the old one that I took out) has a rubber gasket. It didn't appear to be under attack from the BD or oil.

Re: [Biofuel] FURTHER TO WASHING MACINE PUMP
Ian, No pump should fail with but one flush of biodiesel unless they were already on their way out. It would take some pretty spongy seals for that to be the case.

[Biofuel] FURTHER TO WASHING MACINE PUMP
After 1 batch the pump sprung a terminal leak so I decided to pull it apart only to find out that it had rubber seals. I then pulled anther pump apart to find "hello" rubber seals. If Alex uses WM pump what brand are they?
