it all depends on what type of biodiesel you choose to use, there are many types, b5 through b100, b100 being 100% biodiesel, if it gets that cold where you live, its probably not a good idea, try the lowest amount of biodiesel, and keep increasing it, but I probably wouldn't go to high, you'd probably still want to dump some anti-gelling agents, and or diesel

And as for using veggie, the same applies, I would use a booster pump prior to your IP, then maybe even some injection line heaters, nice and hot before you start-up, but even with that, I wouldn't go more then 10-20% veggie (rest being diesel)
