With bio-diesel you are stuck with whatever fatty acids are present
in the parent oil. Bio-D is really methyl or ethyl esters of fatty
acids (the ethyl or methyl group replaces the glycerol in the fat or
oil), and they crystallize at much higher temps than diesel fuel.
If you start cracking it, you end up using so much energy it's too
expensive to make.

It seems the maker should reformulate since most diesel is bio today.
