Hoses:
If you are working on a biodiesel project and need fuel hose a biodiesel compatible fuel line is available at your local Schucks. It is called "Dayco Gen-2 Fuel Injection Hose". It must say this on the side or it will not work. They sell it by the inch. Here is a link to Dayco's site. (They have actually put a note on there stating that it will work with biodiesel, WHOOHOO!!)
