Yes be very carefull. Biodiesel will cause damage to the rubber of the engine mounts.

It is also not recommended to spill any kind of oil on engine mounts.

You better keep engine bay clean and cover the area under the filter before changing it.

Good luck.

Wash the biodiesel, or other oil/fuel, off the engine mount as soon as possible using a soap and water solution, or degreaser, to remove it thoroughly.
