Here's a great link on biodiesel:

I have been using biodiesel for several years now on the farm. We are currently using what is called a B20 soydiesel or (20%) soybean oil + diesel fuel. It has worked great and has been used in new trucks and some diesels which are 40 years old. I have noticed a great horsepower pickup in all equipment. In an experiment a local farm equipment dealership had. The B20 had about a 15% increase in horsepower over the #2 or premium diesel.
