Using biodiesel can lead to increased oil dilution. Use engine oil
analysis tools frequently to check for fuel dilution and monitor
engine oil condition. Check the engine oil level daily. Always
change the engine oil if the oil level rises above the maximum fill
level.

Biodiesel dissolves and loosens some fuel system deposits.
During the initial conversion to biodiesel, loosened deposits will
travel to the fuel filters and require more frequent fuel filter
replacements. Start with new fuel filters when using biodiesel for
the first time.
Biodiesel is aggressive to some materials used in fuel system
components. Inspect seals, hoses, rubber and plastic
components every 10 hours. Repair or replace any components
that are damaged, softened or leaking. Clean biodiesel from
painted surfaces immediately to prevent paint damage.
Biodiesel is more sensitive to bacteria and water contamination
than distillate diesel fuel.
- Use as much fuel as possible before refilling the fuel tank in
order to prevent bacteria growth if a machine is in regular use,
e.g. regularlly uses up a tank of fuel within a week. In climates
where condensation is a risk, or when the machine is working
for short durations, keep the fuel tank full.
- Do not use biodiesel in machines with low utilization or
operating time.
