Bio-Diesel

This kind of new fuel is quite new to me and for that matter, NZ. If I understand correctly, the US has used this stuff for awhile now, is that correct? I also understand that it is used only in a percentage with normal Diesel. Is that also correct? So why?? Why is it that the fuel is not run 100%. The reason I am asking is that we have a guy here running his boat on Bio and has been for maybe two years now. 100% Bio and has not had any problems. So is it a case of there are different Bio-fuels and you guy's have something different in you mix that here? He has had such a good run from it, that one other and myself are looking at getting a quantity of it and trying it. The guy using it presently has had no noticeable negative affects from it. The engine uses the same quantity of fuel, starts OK and the one major plus is that he has a clean burning Exhaust. No black soot at all.
