a howto: make yer own
lotsa info & stories: biodiesel america.org

a guy near me converted an old GM highway bus [6-71?] to run on it, and made the trip to the east coast of Canada and back spending NOTHING on fuel - stopped at all the mom&pop fast food places and asked for their old fryer oil - lotsa times they even gave'em free food for takin away stuff they'd otherwise have to pay to dispose of - he said their biggest expense the whole trip was beer!! grin

they also stopped at the Toronto Transit yard and had the thing checked on their dyno for emissions - very much cleaner than normal diesel [and pleasantly smells like french fries grin ]

Knew a guy that did that with an old VW, he said he loved it, and the fuel was always free!

If I had the smarts, I'd do it!
