If any of my equipment expells an odor that will make you hungry for fryed food and you gain a hell of alot of weight because of it please don't blame me. I have changed my moto from "round is a shape" to "round is a shape but I don't have to look that way."

I would not get into selling biodiesel. There are so many regulations that come into play when you start selling for profit. The EPA does not have a regulation on biodiesel, but they will want to ensure your waste-streams are managed properly (glycerin, wash water (if you water wash), methanol, if you reclaim methanol). Commercial biodiesel plants that make biodiesel from virgin oil are getting creamed, despite high oil prices. The commodity bubble has caused vegetable oil prices to go up in lockstep with crude oil.
Florida will want their excise tax, probably and the Federal government will extract another 24cents/gallon excise tax.
