Fuel system bio-diesel compatibility

Hi Everyone,
It seems common knowledge that bio-diesel is (over time) destructive to the rubber components in the 1st gen fuel systems.
Does anyone sell a kit made of Viton or Teflon components to replace the vulnerable stock components, or have a list of the components that should be replaced when using bio-diesel?
Thank you.
Tom
