I'm looking into getting a old diesel truck and want to make my own fuel out of waste vegetable oil. There's two guys been doing it at my church for about a year, but they don't heat or wash it, and if it's going it my truck I want it to be the finest. My dad won't let me build one here at his house (I'm 20 still live at home ) anyway, is there anybody in the Dallas Area interested or already making their own fuel that wouldn't mind some help? I got some know how just no place to use it. Right now it's just a thought, I don't even have a diesel truck yet. but I really won't want to pay 2.65/gal when/if I do get one.

what is a good way to test already filtered veggie oil? the two guys in my first post have said that I could join their operation (still need to get a diesel truck) I know I need to test for water, what else?
I was thinking maybe I could get them to refine it more if I provided the equipment.
