The cavitation post put me in mind of a conversation I had a few years ago.
I was working for someone who wanted me to run biodiesel in a small tractor. I know that there is a drop in horsepower when using bio and that is can cause lines to fail and filters to clog. I called a local diesel shop to ask about bio diesel and before I could finish my question he said, "We can fix it." I told him I was checking before I did anything.
He then related a tale about a diesel truck that came in that looked like it had caulking injected into the crankcase. The engine began to perform poorly and then suddenly stopped. It seems this vehicle had a fuel pump that was leaking fuel into the crankcase oil. The combination of the high nitrogen bio fuel, the motor oil, and the heat had caused the combination to nearly plasticize. The only thing they were missing was chlorine to make plastic.
