To end the confusion: BioDiesel is not Vegatable Oil!
this is from http://www.biodiesel.org/
Biodiesel can be used in any concentration with petroleum based diesel fuel in existing diesel engines with little or no modification. Biodiesel is not the same thing as raw vegetable oil. It is produced by a chemical process which removes the glycerin from the oil. For those of you who do not allready understand BioDiesel please read the following:

I hope this will help clear the air and end the unjustified negative comments about BioDiesel. "I grow it, and I use it."
