from what ive read on biodiesel, it will dislodge all the crap in the fuel line and tank causing blockages. It can potenitally cause further problems with components perishing faster than usual esp. in older models that. Therefore it is recomended to increase maintenance ie. filter changes and check fuel line components more frequently.

I've been through 5+ tanks of SAFF straight bio without changing a filter, and havn't noticed any drop in peformance. That's on tanks and lines that have done 450000k's since 1987. I will change filters soon though.
