[Vwdiesel] biodiesel requiring a rebuilt injection pump onan '84 Rabbit

If the biodiesel-- viton connundrum is stressing you out why not just run 
say 20% SVO? No corrosion or pickling of the seals and seems to have no 
adverse effects. Cleans injectors too if they are running correctly. If the 
car gets slightly lumpy then run a tank of straight diesel and reduce % of 
veg on next fill-up.

This is a great thread exposing the truth about Lucas CAV failure under 
SVO..
