I never thought of this one. the news media says that obesity here in America is an epidemic. (so far I haven`t cought the disease ) It looks like McDonalds, Burger-King etc.... have found the solution for our fuel problems. we definately do not have a shortage of fat people. just see what "Hangs" out at your local Wal-Mart.

That dude is in big trouble. There are rules on how human issues can be disposed. Turning it into bio-fuel is NOT one of them.

The topic of this forum is diesel. The guy is burning lipo fat in his diesel engine. You may find it gross, but it is not off topic.

Besides, the Diesel forum has mostly smart people participating and is so much more civilized than the open discussion forum.

That's an old story, I read that a couple years ago.

I've also read that people grind up cows with mad cow disease and make biodiesel out of them.

absolutely!

this thread is fine here in this forum!

I can put it in the alternative fuels forum if yall want me to, but the thread is not discussing the USE of this fuel in their car, it's blabbing about how silly the notion is to do it!

I just ignore most human issues.

I don't see how it could be any kind of ethical issue. Fat people don't want to be fat, the fat can be used to make fuel.... it's not like anyone is holding them down and sucking the fat out. It's not like they are using stem cells to make fuel.

Probably smells like fried chicken.

Hey, Fat is Fat, what difference does it make where it comes from?

Grab a couple fat chicks, throw them in the trunk, shove a hose in their "____" and drive along sucking them dry. besides, It is already warmed up. who knows, maybe you will end up with a couple good looking babes.

If fat people don`t want to be fat, then they should do something about it.

Renewable energy??

There are guidelines on how to dispose of biohazardous materials. That is all I am saying.

If one can get pass EPA/WHO or other organizations then it is good source of renewable energy.
