Easy To Change O-Ring?
Hey everybody,
I am looking at a cheap used truck to use biodiesel with (I was looking at a Ford-F250 1991) and I read, with Pre 1992 diesels, you need to swap the natural rubber gaskets and tubes for synthetic ones. How hard is it to change the tubes and the O-Rings on a 7.3 litre IDI engine and what other things need to be swapped out with a 1991 ford truck with biodisel.
Thanks,
Sirnobody

Rubber return lines and hose and fuel transfer pump hoses for 87-up. In the warmer weather I run 100% with no ill effects and I still have natural rubber transfer pump lines. Over time though they can get soft and weep fuel, when they do change 'em.
