You might find a lot of good info in the Bio Diesel forum...
Here is a link.
Bio-diesel, Propane & Alternative Diesel Engine Fuels - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums
I haven't yet see a 100% bio diesel pump in my area but many say "May contain up to 10% biodiesel..." The fuel seems to be the same price.

When I was living in Maine there was a place that that sold a variety of bio diesel, thats all they sold. I ran B-100 for about a year and I loved it, so did my truck. It was a lot quieter, ran smoother, and seemed to give better fuel mileage. I wish I could find it around here.

I had hardly any smoke at all no matter how hard I got on it, however i did get a craving for fried food quite often lol. I never really figured my mileage while I was running mostly because my speedometer was off and I did a lot of idleing up there but it gave me a few more miles per tank then regular diesel.

We have a local fuel supplier here in town that has Bio.
They have B20 readily available to pump right into the truck, but don't have a way to pump any higher Bio level-dunno why.
I've run 2 tanks of it through my engine, no peoblems, my fuel system was already clean from using Diesel kleen on a regular interval.
I think the B20 was about .05 per gallon MORE than the truck stop fuel at the time-(Sunoco)

This is all I could see for your area, http://www.nearbio.com/
I have not ran it in a while, but it does run quieter, I did not notice a MPG increase, nor decrease. And with the B20, sadly, less smoke.

Fuel mileage (mpg), on any one vehicle driving the same course, is determined by the BTU content of the fuel (higher btu content leads to higher fuel mileage). Diesel #2 has 140,000 btu per gallon and 100% biodiesel has 130,000 btu. You will get a quieter running engine with some or all biodiesel, but you won't get better fuel mileage.
