Graysilm.......one of the inherent qualities of BioDiesel is that it is a great injector and fuel system purge. It is a great carbon solvent! Even if you only occassionally fill your tank with 20 gallons of B20 for an extra $.30 per gallon your essentually getting 4 gallons of solvent/purge/Biodiesel flowing through your fuel system for an extra $6.00. A liter of "Diesel Kleen" or "Purge" would cost you more than twice that and probably would not do as thorough a job.........
I have run everything from B20, B99 and mixed my own ratio of B50 with no ill effects in my 98 with the exception of a slight loss of mpg with the B99.
The car has over 170K and the engine is running better than ever since I started using Biodiesel on occassion.
