Converting to diesel - where is the break even point?

This was brought up earlier here, and someone said biodiesel doesn't need to go through any process to get FAA approval. Supposedly the fuel only needs to meet the standards required by the manufacturer. I'm not sure what an STC is. The engine is certified for jet fuel so that fuel is OK. Now you want to use a different fuel. You have to prove to the FAA that the fuel you propose to use meets the engine makers requirement. That alone will take thousands of dollars and years to accomplish. Now you're going to tell the FAA your going to be homebrewing this concoction in your own big vat? No way, no how.
