Proper biodiesel is diesel that has been made from trees and is chemically identical to normal diesel, so any diesel engine can use it. If you are talking about running it on used chip oil that's another matter.

-edit-

Well sort of identical. The wikipedia article says it is at the top and then says something completely different at the bottom. But any biodiesel sold at a pump in the UK will be OK for any modern diesel.

There was a thread on here earlier today, a chap was asking about running a Range Rover on it, the general awnser is that it will screw it up.
