I think he meant homebrew biodiesel... many people have set up small biodiesel processors in their garage.

FWIW, in colder climates you'll probably need some modifications to run anything above b50 (50% biodiesel) in the winter. Once you get into vehicle modifications, it makes sense to consider converting your car to run on unmodified vegetable oil.
