I am new to the this but am interested in knowing approx. how much oil is needed to make the biodiesel? Say how much old veg oil would I need to say make 50 (fifty) gallons of biodiesel? Just something I could go on please. Approximate figure. Thanks

If the oil is pretty good quality, you can expect almost 100% vol/vol biodiesel to feedstock oil. If the oil has a high titration or contains water, your return will be less. So, for every 100 litres of oil and 20% methanol, you'll get close to 100 litres of biodiesel and 20 litres of by-product.
