Hamilton Vic.) "To give away - 50 x 20 litre drums of used cooking oil". Not bad hey. 1000 litres of free fuel!!

Most of us pay a few dollars a drum of good oil. Free oil could have a lot of fat in it, which needs a bit of extra work to make useful. But, yes - all other things being equal it's 1000 litres of free fuel. What it is not is biodiesel.
Biodiesel is a result of several chemical reactions by adding stuff to this sort of oil as a base.
WVO, Waste Vegetable Oil, is a usable fuel without turning it into anything else - but needs filtering and vehicle mods to ensure proper combustion.

I'm in WA, but if I was in Vic, I'd pick it up in a flash.
Making biod is easy,,,,,,and cheap.
Used cooking oil is getting very hard to get hold of.
