There's no need to modify a diesel in anyway shape or form to take bio diesel.

His misinformation is bio diesel = veggie oil.

You can ran straight diesel in it too, you'll just have a larger fuel capacity.
Personally i'd take it off because it's an eye sore, but I'd keep it for the apocalypse or if fuel prices ever skyrocket again.
Wow... to quote Luke skywalker... “what a piece of junk”

Yes, the car should be able to operate on diesel... a properly converted veg oil car should be started on diesel fuel, until coolant warms to operating temp, and only switched over after that point... and shut down after switching back to diesel fuel ...

Since no engine pics are listed, bet the “conversion” consists of a heater and a diesel tank... expect the main tank to be gummed up...
