Over the past while I have experienced "stumbling" problems with my 300D, and have read posts on this forum about the deteriorating quality of diesel fuel. It seems that we are all concerned about this problem, as most contributors to this discussion group use a fuel additive of some sort.
So, I have been pondering this fuel situation, and I wonder why more research and development is not being done with Biodiesel. I have read Fryerpower's posts, amongst other information, and conclude that this is the way of the future. Problem is...the future is here now. We need better fuel now. Where are we at with Biodiesel? Why is more research being done, and why isn't this stuff commercially available yet?

From the posts I have read here, it seems that Biodiesel does not pollute, and is better for our engines. I read a magazine article a few weeks ago about a European company making Biodiesel out of animal carcasses. (I guess there is an upside to Europer's Mad Cow epidemic) Is this lack of research another example of the Fuel Cartel inhibiting research on a product that will erode their market?
