For a very limited time, until you injectors clog and your fuel pump needs to be replaced. Diesel motors - turbocharged or otherwise - require extensive modification to be optimised for biodiesel. This includes replacing the fuel lines, fuel injectors, and fuel pump.

Does bio diesel work in any vehicle with a diesel engine?

Yes. It will work in ANY diesel engine. There is a town in Colorado that has all of it's service vehicles running on bio diesel. YES, I have 100% Biodiesel running in 3 Volkswagen TDI's, 3 GMC 6.5 Turbo diesels, 1994 Isuzu NPR Flatbed, 1988 International DT-466, and a Ford 1220 farm tractor. There is no conversion required for any of these different vintage engines.


Why don't car manufacturers use bio diesel engines?

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.
