  1. Any vegetable oil can be used for bio-diesel, but the types with the lowest glycerin content will work best.  As this fellow found out, it can help to buy in bulk.

    But he was just using it to power his own vehicle.  You say you're going to manufacture for retail sale, so you'll probably be buying in metric tons.  This site has wants and sells for bulk oil.  It may be a little cheaper than calling up ADM or Cargill for bulk purchases.  You may want to look at the "other", "vegetable oil", and "vegetable oil - used" categories.

    Keep in mind that vegetable oils will differ not only in their glycerol contents, but also in their water content (yes, they do contain water).  The quality of the oil is primarily determined by type, but within each type will be various grades.

    Before looking for the oil, you should determine what type of oil you want.  Then again, it may be a price/performance issue.  New oil will cost $3 to $6 per gallon, depending on the type and quality.  Used oil will run $1.50 to $3.00 per gallon, depending on how much you buy, and how far it needs to be trucked.
