Seen a few pictures of Ford Diesels with offroad diesel and biodiesel and its a gummy varnished mess.
I can see this on older vehicles but not new ones. Too many tolerances.

I produce bio diesel and I have 4 cars all with 300tdi's and no running problems. If you 'convert' the waste oil properly then there are no 'kits' required for your vehicle. I.E It can run in 'any ' diesel vehicle, old or new (yes there can be warranty issues) It's also a better solvent so your engine will run cleaner. I have only recently started making my own but have a friend that's been running all his company vans (6 I think, all new and no warranty issues) on it for two years and has yet to have a problem.
The only problem that can happen is that is dissolves rubber but as 99% of cars stopped using rubber pipe work post 1995 it's not really an issue. They also suggest changing your fuel filter when you start using it and agin after a few weeks as it is such a good solvent that it needs to clean your engine!
