Factory-made biodiesel is sold as "B-such-and-such." The most common is B20. The number is the percentage of biodiesel in the mix--the rest is petroleum diesel. Answer: it works fine, go for it. As long as the bio diesel is clean and doesn't have water in it. it should be fine. Use caution with the home brew, filter it good and don't run more than 20% bio diesel below freezing without tank heaters it gells way too easy. There are several different types of bio diesel, make sure the kind you are going to use will work in in a factory fuel system or if you will need a kit installed on your vehicle to properly burn the fuel. Also, adding on to his answer, the first time you use the biodiesel you might want to change your fuel filter. The biodiesel will clean out your gas tank and may clog up your filter.

Meet Sk Mastan Vali, a mechanic at Karkhanagadda in Karimnagar town, who has been operating the diesel engine with castor oil instead of regular diesel with simple additional fittings to the engine to fire the oil to start the engine and run on castor oil. Currently, this technology is being applied to the diesel engine to lift water from an agricultural well for irrigation requirements. Mr Vali says that he would develop the same technology for cars and lorries too.
