I don't live in one of those subdivisions that tells you what color your car has to be. However, I do live in a fairly old and rigid suburban city. I would like to experiment with making my own Bio-Diesel, but I am certain that just about the time I get it all set up they will shut me down as being hazardous to my neighbors. (I'm sure that the fact that I am not really paying taxes on it shouldn't factor into the equation though)

Has anyone tried or run into this situation? I mean it's just vegetable oil until I mix it correct? I'm sure someone somewhere has a rationale for calling vegetable oil a toxic substance. I don't want to ask, but I don't have a choice, it will have to be stored outdoors in plane sight.
