The lower sulfur fuel is already out in most places. This most likely burn up a lot of selves in the pistons. if it starts to run hot or knock even more . add some f- transmission fluid and a bit of motor oil. about a half a quart of a 50/50 mixture depending how big the tank is. Shhhh do not tell the EPA guys.

According to Wikipedia, it became mandatory at pumping stations on October 15, 2006. Older engines can run on USLD just fine. All diesels may need some upgrades to the fuel system to run biodiesel which you could make yourself.

If you mean the ultra low sulfur, it was supposed to be out for around October 2006 but I think is mandatory for January 1st. I do know it is supposed to be able to run in any engine.
It's allowed in 2007s that have the old style motor.. that's why you can run older style sulfur in a 2007 Ford superduty, but the new 08s coming out in January will be federally prohibited

Is available in many scattered places around globe. Wille Nelson is big promoter, and share holder in a company in USA. He runs his buses on them.
Was widely available in UK for a few years, but expereinced difficulty in maintaining consitency in product, and supply. They now run on reguler desiel with bio feul added to about 45% to 65% bio.
Some farm north of Brisbane was looking into making bio deisel to sell to truck drivers. He was copying idea in USA. A town in one of the mid western part of farming comunity . They run everything on bio fuel. The truck drivers love to go there and get cheaper fuel. Aparently you can get info on internet to make your own at home. No lisences required, just do not make or store to much at one time. There used to be a company in Sydney that collected all the used vegtibal oil from resturants. They processed it into feul. However had trouble keeping and payoing workers right wages. But should be another some where.
In a lot of suger cane farm areas, thery manufature small amounts for work vechals.
Good luck

If you are referring to "bio-diesel" it is already available in limited areas... Willie Nelson is a strong promoter, and has this fuel available at a string of truck stops. And yes, it can be used in virtually all diesel engines.

it is out now. the older diesels will burn it but not as cleanly as the new engines. supposedly fuel economy and performance will not be affected on the older engines.
