DOES ANYONE KNOW IF BRANSON USES ANY NATURAL RUBBER IN THE KUKJE ENGINE, MAINLY IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. I ASK THIS DUE TO THE EFFECTS THAT BIODIESEL HAS ON NATURAL RUBBER...

I SENT EMAILS TO BRANSON AND KUKJE, BUT HAV NOT GOTTEN AN ANSWER.

THANKS.

Jed196,
I asked the Branson folks about biodiesel and they sent me a very nice disclaimer.

With that said, Kukje, the manufacturer of Branson (and the engine) also make Cummins small diesel engines (press release March 2002). Cummins seems to have engines in just about every big truck on the road, and more and more fleets are using biodiesel blends. February 1, 2005 John Deere came out in support of biodiesel.

Even the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) issued Specification D 6751 for biodiesel. With all that said, I feel the risk of using biodiesel in a new machine really carries a small risk for me. I use B100 in my Branson 3510 with no problems at all.
