You can definitely make your own biodiesel. In order to do it, you need to build a processor to make it in. You need to get used cooking oil, or some other source of oil to derive the biodiesel from. You need methanol; a catalyst of some sort, which is either potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide. In addition to that, you need all the proper safety equipment as well as check into what your local laws and regulations are regarding making it.
