But it doesn't appear to be to hard. Depending on your local Cuisine + area Drivers it may be easier/ harder.
One of the big advantages of doing Bio-Diesel over SVO is that you can use a much much wider variety of feedstock; Lard, Tallow, bacon Grease, margarine, chicken fat etc etc are all worthwhile fuels for Bio-Diesel. Finding good Canola/ soy is fairly difficult; but if you are willing to give restaurants a barrel and maybe a little$ then it isn't that big of a deal.
If your question was regarding actually getting the oil home.
Holly Cow it is VERY fast. Sucks up about 100 Gallons of water in about 2 minutes, Grease will be much slower, but 25 gallons per minute is not an unreasonable guess. A SVO friend of mine was bragging that his pump could do 1 gallon / Minute with soy! HaHa I can't wait to show him this :-) Who would have thought an Eco-Modder trying how to move fuel faster lol
On the Progress front I got "all" of my leaks sealed up in the super sucker and Re-Built my (2") Valve.
