Question about biodiesel in 1981 300D

Hi, I'm new here, although not new to diesel repair as i've assisted with my friend's 240D. anyway, i just purchased an 81 300D, and the previous owner ran B100 exclusively for the past 5 years. will there be any problems if i fill up with regular petrodiesel from now on? i'd like to continue to run biodiesel, but right now it's about 50 cents more per gallon than the regular stuff...

Your engine was designed to run on diesel, there will be no problems using it.

Eventually it will run better since diesel burns more completely.
