Zac; All of those questions and more are listed at http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_make.html. As an added bonus it will instruct you in how to make your own, the ins, and outs, what to and what not to do when brewing your own biodiesel from either SVO (straight vegetable oil) or WVO (watse vegetable oil) You will find that all diesel vehicles made after the mid eighties did not use real rubber for theri pumps, fuel lines ect... and you will also learn that even some of those vehicles made prior to that date did not all necessarily suffer any degradation of fuel return lines predominantly. Is your Ford 350 diesel compatible with well made (emphasis on well) biodiesel without engine modification ? Yes ! Methanol that is still in biodiesel is NOT well made, it should have been washed out at the end of the process, check the info at the link provided and should you have further questions on anything related to alternative energies this is the place. So, go learn how to make quality fuel and change your truck's diet for better health :)
