Hiya, I have a '97, 7.3 F250 as well. I've been running it on Bd for about a year now with no problems. The only rubber components in the fuel line are the hoses to/from the fuel pump (short little things) an o-ring on the fuel pump itself and a large o-ring (gasket?) that seals the fuel filter cap when it's threaded down tight. My hoses went bad (before using bd) so I just asked the mechanic to replace them with viton. My O-rings are still rubber and haven't had a problem at all so far (a year running on them as well). I believe that if your bd is good quality, there isn't any problem with rubber degradation other than you'd find normally. (anecdotal evidence) I've been twiddling with the thought of running one tank on wvo and the other on bd, so am glad you asked about wvo in '97 F250's. I've heard that it's workable, but haven't any experience with it. Anyone out there who has?
