biodiesel engines

Can a conventional engine be converted to run on biodiesel fuel?

Specifically an old VW Bus.

not to biodiesel. it would be possible to run it on bioethanol though. strictly speaking, it would run on ethanol without any conversion, althoug it would greatly reduce the life of the engine. to do it practically without conversion, you would have to alternate fillings between normal gas and ethanol, because normal gasoline will clean the system( weird as that sounds) to do it with a conversion would mean that you would coat the inside of the gas tank with rubber, as well as anything metal that carries gasoline. I do not know if yoou would have to coat the pistons, but probably not. It might be cheaper/safer just to but a new car.
