Default IS 220d and Biodiesel?

Couldn't resist asking this question, but was wondering if anyone knows or has determined if the IS 220d is capable of running on Biodiesel or if there is any reason why the diesel engine in the 220d couldn't handle biodiesel? Thought just crossed my mind the other day as news of Seattle Biodiesel is ramping up production. (I know we can't get the IS 220d in North America through normal channels but was curious).

Cheers,
Kermee

As far as I'm aware you can run commercial biodiesel in any diesel. I don't see why the IS would be any different.
