BioDiesel is a Class B fuel. Use a Dry Chemical fire extinguisher. Even with a dry chem you can spread the fire by pushing the fuel around with the pressure of the extinguisher. Try deflecting it off something.

Be careful of using a CO2 extinguisher in confined spaces it displaces oxygen. CO2 also has a cooling effect and can bring the tempuarature of the fuel below the ignition temp.
