Bio-diesel is excellent fuel, burns very clean, less smoke, less
knock. Poisonous to bacteria, in general, and they cannot metabolize
it much, so they won't grow in the tank.
Used vegetable oil, on the other hand, is not so nice. Contains lots
of phosphates, hence makes ash, tends to gum things up and to make
excessive varnish and grunge in the IP, tends to burn poorly and
carbon up the rings, and bacteria love to eat it in the tank. That
means, of course, "algae" clogging tank screens, line, filters, and
fuel senders along with crap in the injectors. Bad mojo.

Is bio-diesel good or bad for my 240D? - not that I have a choice...
