Can't see a problem with that. Liek mentioned in another post, Biodiesel (even B100) should be a direct replacement for pump diesel.

Only things I would say to watch is:

- Cleaning of the fuel system, which will block filters - carry a spare!
- Pump seals (and any other old rubber components) may sstart leaking.

I've been running Veg Oil for 8 months now, and I've never had a blocked filter (but did do a couple of regular changes at the start), but my pump seals have started leaking (from the top throttle spindle, and a bit lower down aswell). It's annoying but doesn't affect the running of the car. I have been trying to get hold of a pump to recon with Viton seals, but when they appear in UK in unknown condition they are £250!!
