Biggest risk I see is equipment failure causing fire. I am willing to
admit that I am not scientist enough to make biodiesel of a consistant
quality.
Fitering wvo is the lazier way I think.

Processing oil into biodiesel is much more dangerous and not something I would
do my attached garage.

Only the methanol is dangerous. Distill your own ethanol and the
danger goes away. You can pick up fruit and veggies to ferment from

this case, I believe the additive effect of all elements work to decrease
