Re: 87 300D + Biodiesel = Safe?

Hey everyone, I'm planning to run a tank of biodiesel (B80 or B100 if possible) in my 87 300D. I don't recall any work done to the fuel system and wondering if it would be safe since I heard the biodiesel has an effect on the fuel lines. Furthermore, are there any BD stations in or near anaheim? Thanks in advanced.
Most vehicles since the mid 80s are fine on biodiesel. They changed the rubber hoses to cater for ULSD in europe. So all later MBs should be happy on biodiesel
