I've done some more digging and found out that Biodiesel sold at retail must still include all road and sales taxes. I found a couple of companies that are selling kits to use pure bio (basically vegetable oil) in a diesel. But, that kit requires that the fuel tank and pump be heated when not in use. It wasn't clear if that requirement changes in the warmer climates or not.

While it is possible to run a diesel on pure vegetable oil, BioDiesel is vegetable oil that has been chemically converted (treated) and behaves more like #2 diesel except that it will still start to gell at a little higher temperature (low 40's I think) than #2 diesel.
