Biodiesel in CDN Land Cruisers.

Josie'sLandCruiser · 10-20-05, 11:14 PM

Hi All:

I am curious whether the typical Canadian-spec Land Cruiser, for instance, a '78 BJ40, a BJ70, or a HJ61 can run commercially available biodiesel fuel? Are any modifications required to the fuel system? Will the biodiesel fuel affect any seals or rubber fuel lines?

Thanks for the info!

Hey there
Search for the Biodiesel thread and you should find everything you are looking for inregards to changing out your fuel lines.So yes you need to change them out for hoses that won't break down from the chemicals in the biodiesel mixture.I'm sure that you will find the product name and even a source for them.
Cheers
