I've heard that biodiesel can cause swelling of some types of seals and problems with some types of rubber hoses. Whether that is the only concern, I don't know.

As MessikFarmEquip says, it's probably just a matter of not having done the appropriate tests yet. Though you would think if the only problem was seals/hose compatibility they could give some indication on that without an actual test.
