100% bio can be done, but you would have to remove several key pieces of the emission system

That's probably the same as if you run 100% veg oil too, as when the ambient air is cold (in the winter) the veg oil or bio diesel congeals and you end up with your fuel system and probably your jets blocked with congealed oil.

My old Pug 306 Diesel could run on 100% veg oil, straight from the supermarket bottle, but that's because it had a Bosch fuel pump, other models of the same car used a Lucas pump and thus couldn't run with 100% veg unless they were modified with either a heater or some other means to stop the veg from congealing in cold weather and blocking up the entire system.

And even though my car could run 100% veg, I never bothered.
