Nope. Bio diesel actually eats rubber so every fuel line has to be changed to plastic. After that your good. Hope I have been helpful.

Biodiesel can be operated in any diesel engine with little or no modification to the engine or the fuel system. Biodiesel has a solvent effect that may release deposits accumulated on tank walls and pipes from previous diesel fuel storage. The release of deposits may clog filters initially and precautions should be taken. Ensure that only fuel meeting the biodiesel specification is used.
Biodiesel will degrade natural rubber gaskets and hoses in vehicles (mostly found in vehicles manufactured before 1992), although these tend to wear out naturally and most likely will have already been replaced with Viton which is nonreactive to biodiesel.

Bio Diesel is great but watch your fittings and hoses if you are using 100%, And watch out for seagulls cause your exhaust is going to smell like french fries.
