not true you cannot run biodiesel in any diesel vehicle. newer diesels with dpf does not burn very well and slides down the side of the cylinder walls, the dpf cools the exhaust and does not allow for complete combusiton and actually increaes consumption

Stoner, do some homework. Most biodiesel sources don't compete with food crops. You may be thinking of ethanol and corn.
Also, did you know that the gov't pays farmers to NOT grow crops on ther farms depending their crop and demand? This is a great case for harvesting biodiesel resources. Lastly, algae as source is pretty promising...yielding 20-30 times the output compared to tradional sources.
I think you need to do some homework Im not trying to be a smartass but most bio at the pump is all made out of SOYBEANs and they pay farmers gov. subsidies for not making enough bushels to the acre of a crop and algae is hurts a diesel it comes from bio it forms a wax in the tank that cloggs filters injection pumps lines injectors and I bet that guy at the end has spent twice as much on filters in one year than the last year he ran #2 diesel im a part time diesel tech I dare to prove me wrong
The filtering & 'washing' (wet or dry) is key for having a cleaner biodiesel. If you don't do a good job of filtering it down to ~5 microns and/or your washing technique doesn't remove the majority of methoxide, then, yes, you are prone to more gelling/clogging. But that happens with any source (algae, soybean, yellow grease, etc). I'm no diesel tech, but I do speak from 1st hand experience with making biodiesel for my 2 vehicles (VW TDI & Dodge Ram) w/o any gelling issues.
