The injector lines were old and may have been the originals. They were in good shape, however, before I began using B100. The large return line is a newer one, and it also was fine before I began running B100. Now it is ballooning out like a sausage. It will soon be replaced by a viton line.
The idea that lines eventually leak anyway is a given- nothing lasts forever. The fact that all of the rubber lines lines, new and old, were fine before running B100 biodiesel and all have gone to crap relatively soon thereafter is quite a coincidence. For what its worth, my friend runs a Peugeot diesel on B100 and after several months of this his lines now also have turned to goo.
