I run an old B-275 on homemade biodiesel, as well as my fleet of Jettas and 300SD Benzes. Have been making it for 6 years, so far, no problems. I have not seen mold here in Maine, but there are storage additives that will prevent this, as it also shows up in petrodinodiesel in warm climates.

I agree with the others that B25% is a good proportion where no softening of the old (pre-1995 non-viton rubber)hoses will occur, and it won't gel at low temps (-25F). As you use B50-B100%, old rubber may soften up, and it will clean the sludge out of your fuel system, and into your filters for a while. Commercial pump biodiesel is B20% or so.
As long as it's not cold and the B-100 has not turned to "margarine", my engines always start as well as with dinodiesel.
