Then the massive ad. from Daimler chrisler(Mercedes) running a car with jatropha oil filled and subsequently all the campaigners in Biodiesel surrendered to oil plam based Biodiesel which is the cheapest in the world today.
You shall see few transport bus companies using Biodiesel in South India apart from railway here and there.
There are also news about Tatas and Ambanis in this buisness.
Neverthless, there is no recognition for Biodiesel trade and I wish you be very careful before involving yourself in a kind of research.

a.The feedstock such as animal fat of fish oil odour was not acceptable to consumers.
b.The unwashed, unfiltered Biodiesel did trouble the Filters both air and Diesel and in some cases a small blockage in the Nozzles.
d.The most worrying factor was one has to check up the Filter system in case of frequent change over to Biodiesel to Diesel or vis versa.
I found no other problems and quite sure using 100% Biodiesel in Tractors have proved to be so efficient say atleast 25%more than Diesel.
I am prepared to give more feedback if you are quite serious.
Our only concern is we want to reach more consumers that is it.

Dear Sir,
What can you tell me please on research results (for WWII diesel locomotives in India?) dating back to the period:
During World War 2, when there were oil shortages researchers and industries in India investigated many natural oils and found them usable in diesel engines(Since the year 2000, Prof U Shrinivasa of the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore has revived the idea and successfully implemented many projects).
Thank you for your time, kind regards,
Johan Schiphorst
