You might get some softening of old natural rubber lines on SVO with long term exposure, but I don't think nearly to the extent as with biodiesel. Biodiesel is the more powerful solvent and contains converted methanol/ethanol and perhaps free alcohol as well - more of a problem than SVO.
Perhaps you should be just as worried about effects of low sulphur/ultra low sulphur diesel fuel, without use of lubricity additive (such as our "G3" additive), as we are about use of biodiesel/SVO...note that this refers to problems with Buna-N... http://www.americansweeper.com/v3n1/v3n1lowsulph.html -- > From: craig reece <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: biofuel@yahoogroups.com > Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2002 13:11:01 -0800 > To: biofuel@yahoogroups.com > Subject: Re: [biofuel] confused...... > > Jon, > > It's my understanding that natural rubber fuel hoses and injector pump o-rings > are both negativly affected by biodiesel, and > perhaps also by WVO/SVO - and that what you want are sythetics - the leading > candidates are Viton, Buna-N and neoprene. > > Craig > > J Mitchell wrote: > >> I also read that some types of o-ring material are susceptible, and some are >> not.. is this true and what type are a problem? >> >> Is there a list on the net of vehicles which have these susceptible o-rings? >> biodiesel. >> >>> I have been looking into making my own biodiesel for a while..... and am a >>> little confused. >>> >>> Is it waste vegetable oil or biodiesel that can cause problems with o-rings >>> in >>> your fuel system??? >>> >>> Jon >> >> [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] >> >> >> Biofuel at Journey to Forever: >> http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html >> Please do NOT send "unsubscribe" messages to the list address. >> To unsubscribe, send an email to: >> [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> >> Your use of Yahoo!
