Red face Beginner here

Giday , I have nothing right now I want to know exactly how to make this BioDesiel.
Whats the process?
step by step .
Where can i get the stuff I need?
I hear Methenol is made in the production, That is used in the making of Bio Desiel, why can't i use that methenol instead of buying more methenol?
If I was making 50 litres for example, what amount of ,for example KOH would I add to 50 litres of Oil from the fish and chip shop?
Please explain all this in good detail

I can see this is going to be a long slow process

Ok by reading parts of that web site i see this is going to be a long slow process,
I am collecting the oil twice each week, it looks dirty.

Re: Beginner here

Probably collecting the gear you need, at least to do some 1L test batches.
Working out the acidity of the oil will be the very first step.
The Dr pepper method is recomended by many.
And shouldnt this be in biodiesel somewhere, not ethanol discussion?
