Running Kia Sedonna on Bio-diesel?

[goldfishvase]

I have an 06 Kia Sedonna 2.9CRD, would this vehicle run on bio-diesel without us having to make alterations to the car?

only if its a diesel and if it is a diesel it wil run on it without doing anything other than filling it

Depends on the quality of the bio-diesel. The Sedona has a common rail system & these can be a bit sensitive to fuel type. Most probably it will seem OK for a while, but after the first 1000 miles you'll need a new fuel filter & maybe also you'll regularly need to use a fuel injector cleaner (pour it into the fuel tank) otherwise the engine will start to get a bit hesitant.
At present there's no price advantage of bio over ordinary, so why would you want to?
