A friend has a Nannidiesel 2.45HE 10hp diesel motor (a marinised Kubota) in his yacht. It's quite new, maybe two years old. He's recently fitted a new diesel tank and put new hoses in.
I threw some B100 in the tank on the weekend, and much fun was had by all. We weren't sure about the hoses - as it turns out they're nitrile rubber ones, so we'll have to replace them with something more biodiesel tolerant.
Does anyone know whether the motor is likely to have any issues? I presume the only thing to look out for is the fuel pump seals...
Anyway, a search on Nannidiesel biodiesel didn't turn up anything useful, and I very much doubt the distributors of the motor are going to be any use, so I thought I'd ask here.
Cheers,
Suzy
