There is no such thing really as strictly a "bio-diesel" engine. ANY diesel engine can burn bio-diesel. ANY diesel engine can ...in fact...right this minute, burn used cooking oil straight out of the fryer. It is more a matter at this point of having a supply of bio derived diesel and an infrastructure to blend/produce and distribute it. There is a technical issue in that the currently available bio-diesel causes carbon buildup in the engines it is used in, resulting in poorer performance, lower fuel mileage, and higher maintenance costs that negate the benefits of using bio-diesels in the first place. This is because the additives used in regular production diesel that keep carbon buildup to a minimum, lubricate the fuel system and do other beneficial tasks are diluted or are non-existent in most of the currently available bio-diesels. This will become less of a problem when the aforementioned production facilities are more common.

What is bio diesel fuel?
Bio diesel is diesel fuel made from natural, renewable sources, re-claimed oils such as cooking oils from restaurants, vegetable oils and animal fats. It is basically the same as regular diesel, just that it's natural, works the same, and doesn't pollute the environment with toxins.Bio-diesel is a renewable bio-fuel made from vegetable oil that can be used in Diesel engines. The carbon dioxide it emits was removed from the atmosphere when the vegetation grew, so bio-diesel is carbon neutral, not adding to global warming.

Is diesel fuel renewable or not?
