Before You Buy a Diesel or Biodiesel Vehicle

From Christine & Scott Gable, for About.com

It’s really not a big deal to use a biodiesel-powered car or truck. Biodiesel blends can be used in any diesel engine. It is important, however, to use the blends in accordance with the manufacturers’ specifications—each manufacturer has its own specs. With fueling stations in all 50 states, it’s as simple as finding one near you and filling up. It’s as easy as that.
