Where to Start
I think the most logical place to start is by visiting and getting in to contact with the Green Restaurant Association.

If you own or buy a diesel powered vehicle, it can be converted to run on bio-diesel or straight vegetable oil. In fact the first diesel was actually designed to run on peanut oil or something similar rather than fossil fuel.
We actually teach a class in how to covert a vehicle to run on vegetable oil at Yestermorrow. Check it out below.

In Vermont
I am not sure what is going on in your areas but in Vermont, used cooking oil is in very short supply. And in New York used vegetable oil is being stolen. I suspect that conditions are similar in your area as well.

I could more than likely get as much used cooking oil from restaurants (fryers) to fill a boat. Why would I use this?
