Rubbers are definitely affected. Even the (supposedly) chemical
resistant silicone rubber goes hard in biodiesel. However, I believe
that injection pump shaft seals will never be made from rubber - it's
not got the mechanical properties and ages much faster than plastics.

VW have said that they stock conversion kits allowing most post 1995
vehicles to use 100% RME. Before that they won't commit themselves.
Most vehicles are Ok with a 20% blend ebven though manufacturers
warranty are often an issue. For the time being, our market is out of
warranty commercial
