Talk about an unlimited source of fuel. I am awed and grossed out at the same time.

Now offering Durden Diesel...

Ewwwwww. I just had lunch. I may puke a little.

I saw a report a few years ago on the news about a car modification kit that, for a few hundred bucks, can allow your car to run on animal fat. They said that people who use it typically buy it off cheap or get it out of dumpsters from restaurants. He probably used something similar. Human fat probably isn't much different.

Still though, it's a bit creepy.

This is amazing news I might have just solved my overweight and fuel problems at one time!

I'll bet the exhaust has a flesh stenchy smell...

I can just see the headlines now:

"Pres. Obama quoted as saying...'now eat my lemmings...eat'"

I think he was putting a perfectly good waste product to use. What's going to happen to the fat otherwise? Undoubtedly the energy from the fat will be wasted in some kind of disposal process.

OPEC wins again.

I have a Greasecar kit in my Mercedes diesel. Works great. I have burned bacon grease (mixed with other oils) in it with no problem - I can't imagine that liposuction "remains" are much different. You'd want to make sure they were rendered out well first, which would be absolutely gross. Gets the same mileage on grease as it does on diesel. I mostly burn fryer grease from a local restaurant (vegetable oil).

you know, whatever you're smelling, you're also tasting.

Thanks...its time to empty the litter box now. :)
