There are several alternatives when it come to diesels. About 40% of gas stations offer petrol based diesels, which will run in any diesel engine and is legally taxed. Then there are service stations that sell commercial grade biodiesel made from plants like soybean (eg B5, B20 or even B100). This kind of service station diesels is taxed and legal, just like petrol diesels, and will run in any diesel engine without modification or minnor midification. However, there are not many filling station that specialize in selling commerical grade biodiesel made from plants, so it harder to find a station, but the number of stations selling B5, B20, B100, etc is on the increase.
Then there is the biodiesel created by the home brewer, which is made from used cooking oil. This kind of biodiesel require a special kit be installed in the auto to handle the fuel, and this kind of fuel is usually not taxed, so technically, its illegal. The different kits all provides some way to heat the home brewed cooking oil, before it is used, so it will flow through the fuel lines and spray into the engine cylinder in a fine mist for efficient ignition. The problem with home brewed fuel is it tend to jell in cooler weather and must be heated to increase viscosity, and the state could become threatened, because like moonshine, the state insists on having her share of the pie via the tax. AS far as I know you could go to the grocery store and by cooking oil that would work just fine in a diesel engine. If this is not correct, please inform.
