How does biodiesel do as far as lubricity for the fuel system components
compared to petrodiesel?

From what I read, it's better than petrodiesel by a wide margin.

Biodiesel looks like a win-win for everybody. The tree huggers love it
because it doesn't add any CO2 to the atmosphere. (Growing the plants from
which the feedstock is made pulls the CO2 out of the air that is released
when it is burned for a net zero CO2 release.) Engine lovers have a
potentially cheap fuel that has far better power and lubricity
characteristics than petrodiesel.

Since the fuel crops will not be eaten, it's possible that genetically
modified plants can increase the yield dramatically.

Farmers get a new crop and a stable market.
