Here's the forum I generally use:
http://biodiesel.infopop.cc/eve/forums
They've had A LOT of new member in the past couple years, and the clutter of newbie posts has made it a bit of a PITA, especially on the veggie (SVO- straight veggie oil) side, which isn't moderated very well.
Another good forum:

Tips? I can't say much about biodiesel, I've only run it once. If you are considering making your own biodiesel processor, you should really look closely at SVO. Same amount of $$ and effort up front, but way less effort to make "fuel" afterwards. I spend maybe 10-15 minutes a week to fuel my 2 cars and my father in law's.
With older Mercedes diesels, many people run 50/50 veggie oil/diesel in their main tank without ANY conversion.
I'm actually hurtin' right now, my regular source has been giving me less oil than I need. Currently hunting for a new restaurant to use.
PM if you want more info. I converted my dad's 83 300sd 3 years ago, and have all the pics & files.
