Diesel instead of Jet A or B

Hi everyone.

I was wondering about this after overhearing someone mention this a while back.

Is it possible to run a Jet A/Jet B/Kerosene fueled aircraft engine on Diesel or Bio Diesel. I've read up only very little on this and it looks like Jet fuel/Kerosene is fairly close to Diesel in it's composition but I'm unsure of Bio Diesel. My question is if it is really capable of performing well in these engines and/or if it feasible?

Does anyone know if you get conversions for these engines from Jet A/B to Diesel or Bio Diesel.

Thank you very much.
