Soybean oil / rubber

Without any modifications I switched to new soybean oil for fuel (about $2.20 a gallon at Costco). The price attractive yes, but I wanted to do it for pollution reasons (I live just outside a National Park) and to know my driving doesn't contribute to the various situations this country and or some of its businesses gets into because of oil.

I have searched for the answer to my question but was not successful.

Does soybean oil cause issues with any of the rubber fuel components (hose, valves, seals)?

Thanks Don
