Ahh unintended consequences.
I know all too well what happens when you use non-biodiesel compliant line with anything more than B5.
I used to run Hatz (German) injector return lines on my diesel. A week after I got ahold of B20 for the first time my injector return lines started falling apart.
Lucky for me I still had the roll of weedeater fuel line I had been using before I got the Hatz line. Problem with weedeater fuel line is it gets harder as it ages and it ends up breaking (about 1 to 2 year max life expectancy).

Now I run B20 all the time and would like to try higher concentrations.
I might worry if and only if I filled up with B100 then saw a forecast for a cold snap.
