The drawbacks to making biodiesel is that it requires a significant amount of work. Not only to build the processor and to collect the oil and to collect all the ingredients and supplies that you need, it's also potentially messy. You have got to be really careful when you're doing it and you can end up with some vegetable oil all over yourself or all over the garage. Those kind of things don't appeal to some people, so those are some of the potential drawbacks.
