    You can learn about biodiesel here http://www.alternate-energy-sources.com/biodiesel-... and linked pages. Depending on the age of your bus you may not need to convert it to run it on biodiesel. But double-check before you use it. You CAN buy biodiesel at many gas stations. I take it you don't need instructions on the love bus part of your question...

    Any diesel engine will run on bio-diesel so no conversion will be necessary. This being said, you will have to replace the fuel filter after around 1000 miles of use, since bio diesel (due to it's better lubrication and cleaning properties than carbon diesel) will flush a load of particulates out of your engine.

    I don't know what area (or country!) you're in, but in Europe a few stations sell bio-diesel at the pump. Best way to hunt for them, to be honest, is to Google them. The alternative would be to make your own- plenty of websites have advice on this, but be careful about building or buying a processor- Methanol isn't nice stuff, and you do need to treat it with according respect!

    The good thing about BIOdiesel is that it can be run on ANY diesel with no modification. BIOdiesel is diesel fuel made from veggie.

    The bad thing about BIOdiesel is that it CANNOT be bought at any gas station. It has to be made in your garage using used french fry oil.

    Good Luck...

    And if you live in an area that gets cold your gonna have to fab up a way to keep the lines and the tank warm so it doesnt freeze up// Bio diesel is usually started on normal diesel then you switch tanks after you warm up
