Biodiesel on fuel lines
If you are only using B5, you probably won't have problems for a while. The lines generally don't go out fast, but rather get sort of spongy then ooze first. If it were mine, I would just wait until I started getting signs of softness or leakage before I worried about replacing lines. I would almost guess you may have your filter plug up before then. Look for leaks around the pump and jumper lines between the injectors.
My son has an Isuzu he has run up to B100 in for over a year and still hasn't had any problems. He has a lot of biodiesel links on his website you can check stuff out at. His site is www.utahbiodieselsupply.com.
If you do replace any of them, there are cheaper products you can use besides Viton, which seems to be the expensive standard.
Good Luck
