I'm running ASTM biodiesel, and it has had no effect on the hoses on my mitsubishi diesel yet (a year), but in 4 months, has done quite a job on the VW's fuel lines... Hmmmm.
And yes, the reason no-one runs biodiesel in american diesels is primarily that there are no american diesels (smaller than the big V-8 or cummins's trucks). I know many people who do run biodiesel in them, but they only get 15 to 18mpg usually, so it's only good if you already want a giant truck.
