Greetings Gustl, I was under the impression from my reading that viton rubber would be ok in contact with biodiesel. If I«m wrong about this someone please say so. All metal is definitely better as I imagine even viton will degrade in a 5 or 10 year time span just due to the heat. As far as the burner is concerned I think if it can run diesel heating oil it should be fine with Bio D. Unless it«s really cold the Bio D should flow even better. Anyone else have comments?

I spoke to Erv, the repairman, about the problems with diesel Nr. 1 and Nr. 2 and then asked him about biofuel and the furnace. He told me there were no rubber parts at all that would touch the biofuel and that the only thing which would need to be changed for it to work would possibly be the nozzle. I have seen this topic several times on the list but don't remember the details of the discussion. Thought this might be of some use to someone. I know I will be heating with biofuel this winter.
