Biodiesel fuel is fuel for diesel engines that is derived from plants or animals instead of petroleum. It can made by altering used vegetable oil or kitchen grease. When this is done, it can be used in any diesel engine without alteration and is actually better for the engine than petroleum based diesel oil, though it gets thicker than ordinary diesel oil in cold weather, and it may be necessary to deal with this. Altering the source oil produces a byproduct, which is glycerin and can be purified and used for various purposes.
Another approach to biological products in a diesel engine is to filter the source product (used vegetable oil) and use it without altering it. If this is done, the diesel engine has to be prepared for it with minor alterations. The problems with cold weather also become more pronounced, and the oil often is heated before it is put into the engine.

What are the uses for an internal combustion engine?
All fossil fuel, and biodeisel engines are internal combustion engines. Internal combustion engines are engines that requier a propellant (Gas, diesel etc..). The fuel gets injected into the engine and mixes with air, the mixture gets injected into a cylinder, a piston compresses the mixture and then a small spark from a spark plug ignites the mixture. this lets the engine drive a shaft that can be connected to a number of things, tires, lawnmower blades, what ever.Airplanes, lawnmowers, chain saws, weed eaters, four wheelers, dirtbikes, cars, trucks etc.. all these are ICE's
Can biodeisel be made from animal fat?
Theoretically, yes. Diesel's intention was to produce an internal combustion engine which would run on non-volatile fuels, including things like coal dust. In practice, it generally works out to be a lot more convenient to use fuels which are liquids rather than solids.
