Diesel will eat it in no time at all, and Silicone dissolved in Diesel systems means it gets very hot and it gunks everything up...
Make sure you use Diesel/Fuel rated sealant.
why ever not ruan, it will be fine right up to the point where the diesel eats through the silicone and then there could be a little bit of diesel making a bid for freedom but other than that..................
It dissolves into the diesel, and gunks everything up... Normally I'm one for stick anything through a VE pump, but in fairness, dissolved Silicone does gunk shit right up - same as what happens if you use Silicone hose as leakoff pipes, just disappears and manks up your injectors.
When it gets hot it manky as feck, supposedly all around the nozzle seats and stuff...
