How do I make bio diesel from used motor oil (black diesel) or from used hydraulic fluid?

I am looking for an actual answer rather than a remark. Thanks
By the way Ron B. It is possible and I know some people who make it from elevator hydraulic fluid.

Do people really make their own bio-diesel?

I came across some online forums talking about how there are people who make enough of bio-diesel that they never have to go to a pump again. Is this really true and do you know anyone who does it? I’m thinking it’s just a lot of hear say.

Can a mid 60’s Lincoln Continental be outfitted to run on a bio-diesel engine?

I would like to buy a Lincoln Continental to restore (1964?) but put in a bio-diesel engine. Is this even possible? I am not much of a mechanic but surely an old Benz motor would fit under the huge hood of the Lincoln. Would I need a new transmission too (Benz)?
