Yes, BD destroys rubber.  I was bubble washing a test batch a few weeks ago and i used a rubber band to tie a weight to the end of the bubble tube.  I removed the rubber band and let it sit in the sink and a few days later it was dissolved!  Very funny to see, unless of course it's your fuel line..

Tom,I know that some drum manufacturors sell 55 gallon steel drums with an epoxy lining.  This could be the case with your methanol drum.  I don't think the biodiesel will dissolve the epoxy, but I don't know for sure.  Hope that helps.

Thomas, If you can find out from the manufacturer what the tanks are lined with then you can determine very easy if it is compatible. I think the material may be colapsable polyethylene like the refrigerator wines. As the fluid leaves the material collapses keeping air and moisture out. Check

Hello to all, I would like to start storing some biodiesel to be used as heating fuel this winter. I have two 55 gallon (209L) drums that methanol came in. They are blue tanks with "VP Racing" on them. I was told that they are only used for methanol and "are lined" with something.
