Having the right type of fuel is just one half of the equation- equally as important is having the right kind of vehicle to run on biodiesel. There are thousands of different types of cars out there, so you're more than spoiled for choice when it comes to having a large selection of vehicles.
You can rule out sports cars and big gas-guzzling v8 petrol vehicles or trucks. In fact rule out petrol engined vehicles altogether as you really need a car that was designed to run on diesel, not gasoline or petrol.
A problem arises here in the fact that the selection of vehicles that run on diesel fuel as opposed to regular gasoline or petrol is dramatically reduced, especially in countries that do not permit the import of older Japanese vehicles, a lot of which are diesel engined. If you need a utility vehicle/pickup truck or SUV then you may find your choice for a modern vehicle that is capable of running biodiesel somewhat limited.
By far the best cars for running on biodiesel are diesel engined VWs and Mercedes cars. They have durable engines that have proven extremely popular time and time again with the "biofuels crowd". In fact late 1980s and earl 1990s Mercedes sedans are considered to be by far the best for running on biodiesel. Many consider their engines capable of running on just about anything, so your own high quality biofuels will go down a treat.
Take the initiative into your own hands and do a little bit of research on your own car. Type into Google the model of your car and "biodiesel" or "biofuel" and see what comes up. Try scouting on eBay or in classified magazines for vehicles that have already been successfully converted to run homemade biodiesel, or for a model car that will run it well.
The power really is in your hands.
