Queston for the group. I would like to use 5/16 copper tubing in conjunction with rubber hose to connect my aux. fuel tank to existing fuel filler neck. Does the copper tubing become corrosive when exposed to the diesel fuel?

Hmmm I belieive most oil tanks in homes have copper oil lines ,,from tank to burner, doesnt seem to affect them in any way,,and there installed for yrs,,I also use home heating fuel for my machines,,excavator, dozer, backhoe, skidsteer, works fine,,except when it gets real cold,,then additive goes in,

Well there is the red dye for sure in home heating fuel, so if they stick your tank,,they can tell,,! But it seems to run just as well in equipment,,where you dont have to pay the road tax,,thats all I have run for years with no affect on the equipment .
I have looked at the ingredients in diesel additives,,and they all have 1 thing in common,,,,,kerosene,,I would hope there are more ingredients then just that,,,I dont have one here now to look at. later,,,,,,,,Mark

That is why it is not a good idea to put diesel in a galvanized container. It will leach out the zinc and suspend in the diesel until it gets to the fuel injector. $$$$$
