Pretty important to change oil after flooding the cylinder with BioDiesel....

It can adversly affect lube-oil and 'polymerise'...

I wouldnt use BioDiesel. I personally would try normal diesel or even a Good long blast of WD-40 down the injector hole, and on a hot/warm engine, but make sure you get it ALL out before you start it!--we dont want to hear of a hydraulic lock and bent rod!...

You don't want to end up like this guy in the UK with his 605!- http://www.vegetableoildiesel.co.uk/forum/viewthread.php?tid=5202&page=2

--About halfway down the page, broken plug, and drilled through the head casting!--

I know the plugs can break in these. What I dont know is why are these more of an issue than other cars...?

Weak plugs or just summit else??
