Outside the US:

The following two sites are British. The cars they have available are not the same as we have in the U.S, but they do into great detail about engine types. Biodiesel can be put in ANY diesel engine-- new or old. For details on precautions or suggestions on how to best use biodiesel in your engine, please consult with a mechanic (we can suggest several) or go follow our Links for more information.

These sites describe all diesel cars. Many, but not all, will become available in the U.S in 2007
