Possibly the best and simplest explanation of Bio diesel that I have seen.

You can almost go to your grocery store and get lye..depends on where you live. check drain cleaners. Look on back of bottle for 100% LYE. The methanol can be picked up at your local auto parts/accessories store, or where they sale racing fuel. Look for HEET. I think the YELLOW bottle is 100% METHANOL. Unless you are planning to make big batches, those small yellow bottles should be enough. For large batches, cheaper to buy in bulk (gal., 5 gal., etc) Hope that helps you.

Its seems so easy. I would love a setup like that for personal use. And I live near 5 fast food restaurants. The only part that throws me off is the lye/methanol additives and the availability of those items to the public.

Alternatives should be researched, but the bulk of the funding should be put behind things that show results in the nearterm.
As is, we're spending almost all of our dollars on red herrings like biofuels and hydrogen.
Much in the same way that Republicans supported Ralph Nader in the 2000 and 2004 elections.
Last I checked,
Archer Daniels Midland is the Exxon of farm crops.
Where do you think the grease comes from?

Primarily, not American farmers, and all the subsidies we pay go to fund companies like ADM, not American farmers.

and we pay to fund what with crude oil?
You make a valid point however it is possible to to have American farmers grow more of it.
A lot of crude comes from unstable areas that are not American either.

Note even that.
We don't have enough farmland.

Or enough water.

As is, we're paying over $1.6 billion in tax dollars per year to offset less than 1% of our Oil.
Brazil, they offset less than 14% of their oil with Sugarcane.
Most of it all comes from oil drilling off the Brazilian coast.

It's all a big distraction to allow car companies not to upgrade their cars, keep us ON oil, and pay ADM our taxes

But there is enough farmland to have thousands of square miles for pig feed tha goes to huge corporate pig farms that are probaly one of the worst water polluters.
I'm not saying you are wrong but it is an alternative.
Not researching or not trying is a bad idea.
