Sounds like something the Nazis would have come up with , but most of their “patients” didn't have much body fat .

What's wrong with this?

Aside from the fact that he's sorta taking a cue from Ilsa Koch...

Wasn’t there an article here this past summer about some guy who was going to power his yacht on an around the world cruise using nothing but bio-diesel made from human lipo-suction fat?

I seem to remember something like that...

Rosie and Oprah can offset their greenhouse gas flatulence by selling their over abundant FATulence.

Yes, it’s freaky.

On the other hand, it’s not like Nazi Germany. These people are voluntarily asking him to vacuum the fat out. They don’t necessarily want it back. In fact, they probably don’t...unless they’re planning to use it in their own diesels. Actually, this strikes me as one of the less unsanitary ways to get rid of the stuff. The only problem is, now I look at Michael Moore and I see a giant jerry can with glasses and a Tigers cap.

Cummins furnished the diesel engines for one of the first polar expeditions. They were tested on whale oil in case the explorers had to “harvest” their fuel locally.

Theoretically possible I suppose; but, this guy looks like a scam artist. I doubt he really did this.

My old high school uses grease from the kitchen to power its two buses. A cafeteria serving three meals a day (and bacon every day!!) still isn’t enough. They also have to buy diesel to make up the difference.

I doubt this guy sucked enough fat out of people to fuel his vehicle.

There is a line in the article stating its against trhe law to use human waste to power a vehicle - how on earth did they come up with a law that specific?

Biodiesel fuel is more commonly made from vegetable oils, although half of the U.S. supply comes from beef or pig products

Gee, I wonder what C.A.I.R. will have to say about this? Poor, unsuspecting Muslims possibly contaminating their fuel tanks.

And don't even think about the horror involved it they splash or spill any on themselves.
