As long as you denature the ethanol(add something to make it unfit for human consumption) I believe you can make it for fuel. It takes a little more ethanol to transesterify the triglycerides to make biodiesel because the molecule is almost twice as large. However, 100 gal of ethanol would probably make about 400 gal of biodiesel. Figuring you would only use it straight during the warmer weather and would blend it with No. 2 in the cooler weather, that should be enough unless you do a lot of driving.
