Can I just use any type of oil?
Most (if not all) vegetable-based cooking oil will work for BioDiesel and WVO... in general folks like to find quantities of non-hydrogenated oil, as it has the lowest gel/cloud point... making it much easier to manipulate/filter/use in lower temperatures. Most folks also (with a few exceptions) tend to stay away from the hydrogenated oil used at fast food restaurants, as it has the consistency of Lard/Crisco at room temperature and is very hard to work with.

I am a little lost, isnt most of the oil at fast food restraunts the vegetable based cooking oil?
If we dont use the stuff from fast food restraurants where or where does most of the oil come from. Honestly I cant think of a more ready supply of WVO.
Getting ready to set up a system for filtering/heating/settling in my basement but need to find out where to get the WVO

Hmm... maybe I should have worded that a little better. I know that there are some folks here that get their oil (in DROVES) from potato chip factories, or nacho-chip factories... and I know that there was some banter tossed around for using unprocessed peanut oil.
