filament for use in Diesel fuel

[duvdev]

Hello,

I am looking for a filament to use in Diesel - so the printed model will be inside a tank with Diesel
will nylon work? brdge nylon it any other nylon?

thanks

I'm not sure that Nylon is the best, just because it absorbs liquid. Test PLA, which surprisingly is rather chemically resistant.

Aside from all of this I'm not sure I'd put any 3d print into a fuel tank unless I 100% knew that it wouldn't break down at all. I'm sure this is what you're already thinking

Random google search netted this neat tool:

more good info with all the biodiesel: http://www.biodiesel.org/docs/ffs-perfo ... f?sfvrsn=4

Out of curiosity - what are you printing that goes into diesel fuel? whats the application? I'm a TDI guy myself, I have 3, one making around 4x stock power

I so read that first sentence and and wanted it so badly to be a spool of PLA powering a diesel....
