Can my car handle biodiesel fuel?

I have heard a lot about how good biodiesel is for the environment, and that it actually cleans the air. I think that it’s a really great alternative to fossil fuel, and I want to start using it with my car (a new Subaru Forrester)
However, I’ve heard that biodiesel can be really bad for your engine if you don’t have a relatively new diesel car. Then just the other day I read in an article that it works fine with any newer cars. Please tell me if my car (again, a subaru forrester) can handle it!!

Easy At home biofuel or biodiesel projects?

I have to do something for a chemistry class and everything online has been super shady so far

Do I need to convert the engine. What kit do I need to buy. I would like to do the whole Cinese restaurant oil thing. Sorry, the only democrats around here either don’t work or ride the bus. I have no resource for becoming GREEN!

I have checked all the online biodiesel.org and renu energy and I can’t find an actual retailer where I can go and fill up my car…. I just do not have the space to produce the small amount that I would need personally.
anybody out there,,,, help

lol i mean a diesel car since it burns biodiesel too

Just curious. Lulz.

Do biodiesel & ethanol fuels have any impact on greenhouse gas production? And if so, please explain.
Does the converting of animal fat into gasoline have any impact either?

What do you think about biodiesel?

I am about to start planting jatropha trees in Madagascar. Jatropha seeds can be used to make biodiesel. It would be interesting to guage knoweledge and interest in a fuel that is renewable and less polluting than petroleum diesel from your responses
Dear "GoAway" thank you for replying to my question in response to your points…

Jatropha is used as a tutuer for vanilla meaning that is used to hold the vanilla plant up so actually land for vanilla is already being used for biofuels.

One of the nice things about jatropha is that it can be planted on non-agricultural land because its basicly a tree that will grow anywhere. I certainly would not want to plant biofuel plants in a situation that would compete with food crops.
