As other people have said, keep an eye on the rubber fuel lines, or just be proactive and replace them with Viton. Also, keep an eye on the injection pump. I've recently had to replace the one in my 1985 S-10 Diesel, which used the same drive train as the P'up. First the pressure regulator started to leak, but my mechanic was able to fix that without removing the pump from the engine. (Even though he's a little guy I swear he has a second elbow in the middle of his forearm.) Last year the seals on the pump itself started to leak, and I had to break down and have it replaced. ($800!) Since that time it has been running like a top.

Interesting -- I just had to have my injector pump replaced on a '99 TDI VW Beetle due to leaking seals. Been running B100 (beautiful stuff, homebrew :-) since '01. $1100 USD plus labor!! I'm loath to blame my own fuel, especially given that all VW's after '96 were supposedly B100-proof. Could be coincidence. -K ___ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/

Re: [Biofuel] Isuzu Pickup
Keep an extra fuel filter on hand and know how to change it on the side of the road. Otherwise, probably nothing. Most of the japanese diesels have steel injector return lines which seems to be the most susceptable to being eaten by biodiesel, so it's possible you won't have to worry much about fuel lines being eaten for a while.
