With biodiesel it can be a problem that it does not burn out. A smaller nozzle for a shorter flame and if possible higher pressure, could fix it. You will probably get a 20-30% lower heating capacity from your burner, but they are mostly 2-3 times over sized anyway. It will run longer periods with less pollution and that is positive. I Germany they have restrictions now on how many start/stop that can be tolerated, this to control pollution and force a more serious sizing.
