bio diesel is good for the landy but the focus might not run very well due to sort of pump it has fitted. all you need to do for the landy is fill it up! after a while you may find that the engine starts to run a bit "flat" and so all you do is change the fuel filter because bio-diesel is an excellent cleaning agent and cleans all the **** out of your tank and fuel lines thus clogging up your fuel filter. after you have changed the filter everything should be good.

Here's another... Welcome to Biodiesel Filling Stations
I'm gonna try it, i think just adhoc with both vehicles.. My Focus does loads of miles so the saving should be considerable and I've still gotta do that damn clutch..

Biodiesel wasn't that much cheaper last time I checked. I haven't got a Morrisons round here though so not sure if it's gone down a lot.
I was talking with someone down't pub last night - they said you can stick vege oil straight in (obviously while paying the correct duty to the government...) and it works but I'm sure I saw a program on TV and you need to mix it up with methanol for a normal diesel to run on it?
Scrap that, just found another link:

the quick and easy answer is yes you can.......the reason ford etc dont give an answer is because theyve never tested and therfore cannot say'yes'officially for liability issues so youl never get a straight answer
just by the way biodiesel is made(not going into that here)involving other chemicals means they may/maynot have issues with fuel line deteriation ext....so in other words yes some people use it...indeed some including myself have made their own 'brew' or simply even used just 'straight'veg oil.......the choice is yours
