Re: biodiesel pump
I purchased one of these on eBay and found that the meter did not respond to biodiesel as well as the seller said it did on diesel. The fuel hose started weeping biodiesel after 3 months use. It needed to operate from a battery unles you have a 20A battery charger. My 24V 10A one barely coped.
Yours may be different. Ask the seller if the hoses are biodiesel friendly and that the meter measures accurately on biodiesel.

Re: biodiesel pump
The hoses are crap and kink easily. Go to bunnings and get some reinforced hose and decent clamps. They pump bio fine however the meters are next to useless. These pumps make fuelling the car SO easy!
