Hanns - A small amount of biodiesel is all that is needed if the engine is operated on SRO (SVO) for the majority of its operating cycle. This makes small scale biodiesel production more practical.
Or, just use a small amount of spec petrodiesel to start and purge, and heated oil in an SRO system the rest of time. This avoids the need for processing, methanol, lye, and associated costs and safety, training and storage concerns and is a better model for small scale village operations , especially in island nations or anywhere the materials and equipment needed for proper biodiesel production may be expensive or pose other problems.
