Making your own biodiesel is a simple process of transesterification.   
In the presence of lye, methanol and grease swap some hydrocarbons. Use  
ethanol if you're going to put it in your mouth.  What settles out is a  
big cake of glycerin, which Tyler says you can use to make soap.  
Tyler's full of useful information, as is  ISBN0-9664616-1-4, _From the  
Fryer to the Fuel Tank_.  If you have a diesel already and don't want  
to make your own biodiesel, why not run it on straight oil?

Rudolf Diesel's original engine was designed to run on pure vegetable  
oil.  His body disappeared crossing the English channel.  His design  
was later modified for petroleum diesel and produced en masse. There is  
no connection between the preceding statements. Shut up. Be happy.
"Fat of the Land" is a wonderful film about an unmodified Ford  
econoline full of women driving across the country making biodiesel in  
the parking lots of fast-food joints.
While recently trying to rent a PO box, I was asked for two forms of  
ID, and then asked "Why are you here?"  I was then told they would run  
an "address verification" by mailing a letter to the address on my  
driver's license and tracing it to the PO box I wanted to forward my  
mail from, because I was "from out of town" (why else would I want my  
mail forwarded?)  While the clerk was explaining this, I was collecting  
my forms and ID, and by the time the explanation was over I was out the  
door.
Enduring freedom,
