I have been running my 200tdi on bio diesel for months now, no detrimental effects, some mornings it takes a few more cranks to start.......I have no engine mods at all.

I've heard mixed reports about the vegatable waste residue that straight veg oil leaves behind, but then I've had loads of trouble with a waxy resiue in the biodeisel I was using.  In the end I was spending what I saved per tank on new fuel filters so I stopped using it

Be very careful sticking waste veg oil into your truck.  When heated, veg oil forms free fatty acids.  I don't recall the reason these are bad, but they are.

However the 200TDi will run on vegitable based substitute fuels, whatever you choose to try :)
