Biodiesel effect on older diesels

Does anyone have experience using B100 biodiesel in an older diesel like a 1980 240D?
I have heard that 100% biodiesel can dissolve rubber O rings, gaskets, or hoses. Not as much of a problem with B20.

all you have to do is replace your fuel lines with synthetic rubber lines rather than orgainic rubber lines
