Rudolf Diesel is famous for inventing the diesel engine, but he also developed an engine that ran on peanut oil in 1900 - predating today's interest in biofuels by more than a century! Even today there is speculation about his disappearance overboard a boat on his way to England.

Diesel engines run on diesel fuel. Gasoline will destroy a diesel engine.
Yes, diesel is a bio fuel
The history is a little vague; but the two prominent people who first "discovered" and applied bio-diesel were George Washington Carver and Rudolf Diesel. Rudolf Diesel was the creator of the Diesel Engine and he ideally envisioned the diesel engine being used with a bio-fuel source. On a side note, he actually presented a diesel engine running on peanut oil in the Paris Exhibition in 1889. George Washington Carver worked with Henry Ford to create a bio-diesel engine; however, at the time petrol-diesel was more easily accessible and cheaper than to produce a bio-diesel fuel source.
Dr. Rudolph Diesel first worked on the Diesel cycle using powdered coal dust on a slow speed two stroke engine. So the Diesel cycle came first and later developments led to Diesel engines. Sadly, Dr. Diesel committed suicide by jumping from a boat.
If the van has a diesel engine, then you MUST use diesel fuel. Unleaded gasoline will destroy a diesel engine. Diesel fuel is also used as a lubricant in a diesel engine. The use of any other fuel except diesel will result in serious damage. If you have put unleaded in your diesel, do not start or drive this vehicle until you drain the tank and change all the fuel filters.If the van has a diesel engine, then you MUST use diesel fuel.

Where is the diesel fuel filtered
Water is heavier than diesel fuel
only if it has a diesel engine. A gasoline engine will not run properly on diesel fuel.
Yes. Diesel is a fuel oil, similar to kerosene and jet fuel both.
Vin Diesel, why ofcourse!!
Either manually pump fuel from the fuel tanks to the fuel filter, or else open up the fuel filter, and pour some diesel fuel directly into it.
Fill up the fuel filter with diesel fuel before you try starting it.
