If it's still starting poorly after running several tanks of Regular fuel through it, I would suggest using the normal diagnostic routine for the symptoms you describe.
Check glow plugs Check compression Check Injectors Check Prechambers It is possible the change was coincidental, and not related to the Biodiesel. Joe

Did you check the fuel tank strainer?

In addition to the things mentioned above...
Check start of fuel timing... Check Chain elongation and valve timing by using the movement of the number one intake valve ..... the factory shop manual SPECIFIES THIS PARTICULAR PROCEDURE if one has a " PERFORMANCE COMPLAINT" ..... |

Chris,
Remove the fuel cap from filler pipe. Remove the rubber fuel line from the steel fuel line below the fuel tank. Fuel should run out in a steady stream. If it doesn't, your fuel tank strainer is plugged. If strainer is plugged, remove it and clean it. Best way is to remove fuel line attached to strainer and blow it clean with compressed air. Best time to do this is when tank it almost empty. Drain fuel tank thru fuel hose you removed into a container, fuel can be reused. Strainer does not have to be replaced unless the mesh is broken. Put in a couple a couple gallons of fuel and check for leaks. Its possible you might have to replace the seal on the strainer if there are leaks around the strainer. P E H |

And last but not least, check and make sure the tank vent is clear. You can do this by seeing if it starts easier with the fuel cap removed. If you here vaccuum (or pressure) release when removing the fuel cap, it's a good indication of a clogged vent line.
