You should be able to just use pump diesel.

It depends on your vehicle.  The biodiesel can gell up in cold weather but it does run cleaner and smells better when burnt.  Most of the time, Biodiesel is usually mixed with at least 70% diesel anyway, so your basically just helping reduce carbon emissions.  Some older vehicles with rubber fuel lines will have the rubber eaten away by the biodiesel as it is a bit more corrosive.

Bio Diesel is not corrosive, but it does have a solvent quality that dissolves traditional
rubber fuel lines. Bio Diesel tends to run quieter than Petro Diesel. If the Bio stuff
is gelling up it might not be a good converted batch and you might mix it 50/50
with Petro Diesel in the cold months
