Biodiesel from used cooking oil

You can learn how to make a "homebrew biodiesel" you can check this site. The site talks about the process on how to make your own biodiesel, the materials, and the technical aspect of the process. For the "non-rocket scientist" this is a good start to learn. But it said to be "discredited by peer review in other forums" because it lacks safety procedures and quality finished products. Or you can look at the works of Jon van Gerpen and Gerhard Knothe ( just search in google) or the National Biodiesel Board website.
