WVO eating rubber???

[sd2649]

I may be mistaken, but I believe that my rubber fuel return lines may be disentegrating from my WVO. I have a return clear filter to see when my system is purgerd and it has little black pieces of rubber in it....... Is anyone else seeing this?? filling the tanks up with rubber isn't my idea of a good time!

I have noticed that it eats up those cloth gloves that are dipped in rubber. It turns the rubber coating to goo.

That is not a good sing, the oil You are using may have too much acid in it. Some sources bring bad oil from whatever they put on it .

According to this Chemical Compatibility Chart Oils:Soybean, Oils:Corn or Oils:Rapeseed (Canola) and Natural Rubber have a compatibility of SEVERE EFFECT

change out your hoses soon or you will be changing out an injection pump
also there is a source for viton o-rings from McMaster-Carr floating around here too.

You jump 2 wires inside the cab so that when You turn the ignition key the truck assumes You are pressing the clutch pedal but You are not so You always start like on automatics but You have a manual. Mel Agne (Agnem) did this on My truck years ago at our first meet on Gettysburg PA and I really like it.
