Default Biodiesel. Anyone had experience?

Hi all,

With the ever increasing price on fossil fuels, I am tempted to go down the "Biodiesel" path.

Having 3 big Diesels as daily drivers (4.2 T/D GU Patrol, 6.5 T/D Chev Dually, 7.3 T/DI Powerstroke F250), I can see an immediate cost saving.

I have done a fair bit of research, however most sites are U.S. based.

I guess what I'm asking is....has anyone here had any experience in both the Manufacturing and subsequent consumption of Biodiesel?

Some of these sites say it's better, cleaner, improves engine life, etc. But the crunch is, how are the Aussie vehicles handling it? Will I stuff my combined $12,000 worth of Injector Pumps? Will I go through Filters more often?

Has anyone tried Manufacturing it before and since given up? Got equipment lying around, etc?

I look forward to your responses, I'll keep trawling Google too!

Cheers,
