Bio diesel is basically veggie oil. Its main benefit is that it has NO sulfur, unlike regular diesel. One must do a LOT of processing to diesel to produce low-sulfur diesel, whereas bio diesel is NO-SULFUR to begin with.
You can buy biodiesel in many outlets in California now. There's one in San Francisco that sells B20 (20% biomass, 80% regular diesel) that can be used in regular diesel w/ no conversions.
The main problem with veggie oil is it can gel up at odd temperatures, and it's denser than diesel. Better to mix it and sell it as B20.

I beg to fluctuate. The bio diesel does no longer burn in a steady diesel engine. It has to have mild adjustments to take action. Not having those mods will spoil an excessively pricey engine. But I consider the usage of it and I think ethanol will have to be used as good.

Sure but not in very cold climates...biodiesel fuels may not vaporize enough and they may have flow problems. Even straight diesel fuel will gel in very cold temperatures.
Of course, people who would rather drive than eat might be considered junkies.
