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

Why are the older diesels slow and gutless? Can anything be done about it?
