There are several different types of bio diesel. These are pure bio diesel, B5 blend, B20 blend, and B100 blend. B5, B20, and B100 refer to the amount of derv blended with the fuel.
Biofuel can be used in place of regular diesel in most places. B5, B20, and B30 fuels can be used with no modification to existing fuel tanks.
Putting gas in a diesel engine will not be fixed by adding oil. The fuel needs to be drained or pumped out if the mixture is too high. If only a few liters of gasoline were put into a tank of diesel, adding a diesel fuel conditioner could help. Gasoline will damage diesel fuel pumps and injectors because it does not have the lubricating properties of diesel. The fuel pump and injectors need lubrication from the diesel fuel or they will seize up and be destroyed.
Yes. The difference is that off road fuel contains purple dye. If the tractor is older you may want to add some tranmission oil to the fuel as new Low Sulpher Diesel does not lubricate as well as the older diesel. As well you can add a diesel fuel conditioner which helps restore the lubrication properties of the fuel.
Diesel engines run on diesel fuel. Gasoline will destroy a diesel engine.
Yes, diesel is a bio fuel
Jet fuel is pretty similar to diesel fuel and actually works in diesel engines (but having poorer lubrication properties than "normal" diesel fuel, the wear on a road engine will increase by much). So check with the next diesel car owner you meet, it should be pretty close to the same, HP for HP, of course. (eg: an 18 wheeler rig runs way shorter than a Jetta TDI on the same gallon of fuel!)
If the van has a diesel engine, then you MUST use diesel fuel. Unleaded gasoline will destroy a diesel engine. Diesel fuel is also used as a lubricant in a diesel engine. The use of any other fuel except diesel will result in serious damage. If you have put unleaded in your diesel, do not start or drive this vehicle until you drain the tank and change all the fuel filters.If the van has a diesel engine, then you MUST use diesel fuel.

Where is the diesel fuel filtered
Water is heavier than diesel fuel
only if it has a diesel engine. A gasoline engine will not run properly on diesel fuel.
Yes. Diesel is a fuel oil, similar to kerosene and jet fuel both.
