I have tried 20% Bio Diesel, it is great, more power and less chatter from the engine and better fuel economy. It is a bit hard to find and Ford say only 5% is what they recommend.
your asking for trubble!!

biodiesel:
pro
lubricity.
cheap.
con
incomplete burn (dilution in sump) over full sump will cause a runaway engine.
not clean burning (block DPF)

diesel:
con
low sulfer content for aiding DPF (used in lubication) just like lead.
