Does any one on this forum have any info on using bio-diesel for your low pressure steam boiler?
Just curious if it can be done and how to do it.

If it will run on 'ordinary' diesel, it will run on bio-diesel.
Indeed with the latter you may find improvements in burn and cleanliness, as bio-diesel tends to be a cleaner product from the manufacturing process.
Whereas ordinary diesel can carry-over some heavier fractions, etc. from the original feedstock (ie. crude), bio-diesel - certainly in the GTL methods of manufacture - is 'assembled' from smaller components.
The heavy impurities have a much poorer burn which the latter doesn't suffer.
