Biodiesel bought at the pumps is no different to regular diesel, it's just the raw materials that are different. If you make it yourself (a long and fiddly process by all accounts, and not legal if you don't notify Customs and Excise) the result should be more or less the same. If you mean running on Straight Veg Oil, otherwise known as SVO, most people mix it up to 50-50 with diesel with no ill effects. Older engines take to SVO better than fuel managed new ones though.
