Hi yes you can run your car on bio diesel and it doesn't affect the performance of the car. we have a Volvo v40 1999 & v40 2001 running on 100% bio diesel.
But you will have change your fuel filter once you have done 200 miles which cost about £7 for replacement part and take 10 mins to change and you can use a oil filtyer remover tool to get it off. it is located under the bonnet on the passengers side at the back at the botttom screwed on side ways and it sshould be white in colour. as the bio diesel will break down the residue left from normal diesel in the fuel filter which could block the fuel pipes and injectors.
That's all you will need todo to run your car on 100% bio diesel.
Hope this helps
