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
Will,
Good idea Best
wishes as you scale up.

Tom,I originally used stir washing
ompatibility between washed BD and rubber seem to vary ... from
penetrating, to swelling to actually dissolving the rubber.

.. not to mention the potential for oxidizing the
fuel.
Sounds like a commercial,
no?
Give stir-washing a try.

Good point. One question I have on the tendancy of biodiesel to dissolve stuff. How much of that is due to biodiesel itself, and how much is due to unwashed biodiesel which may still contain methanol and such? Though hopefully no methoxide any more. I know my ASTM biodiesel that I bought is still

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.
