That just puts a band-aid over the situation at hand. The fuel lines are already in poor condition and were suspect to leaking before the switch to ULSD, the ULSD is "thinner", and it seeks out the leaks. He needs to just go ahead the replace the components that are leaking.

I don't think biodiesel would make the problem go away either, because from what I remember, don't folks who usually switch to high blends of biodiesel experience fuel leaks in old lines too, like ULSD?
