First thing to I would do is canvas some local resturants to see how successful you are going to be a getting WVO.

Look here, http://www.biodieselcommunity.org/



...and here for a pretty cool set up that can be made from stuff most people can get at the local hardware.

From what I have seen, for most it is not worth the time and energy involved. The higher fuel prices get, I might be changin my tune.

Problem is, more and more guys are getting wise to the Home Brew idea, making it tough to impossible to secure any decent sources for WVO.
