Cat Forum / General Topics / May 2008Bio-diesel from Dead Cats
http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_1534821.html Inventor turns dead cats into diesel ==================================== A German inventor says he's found a way to make cheap diesel fuel out of dead cats. Dr Christian Koch, 55, from Kleinhartmannsdorf, said his method uses old tyres, weeds and animal cadavers. They are heated up to 300 Celsius to filter out hydrocarbon which is then turned into diesel by a catalytic converter. He said the resulting "high quality bio-diesel" costs just 15 pence per litre. Koch said the cadaver of a fully grown cat can produce 2.5 litres of fuel - meaning around 20 cats are needed for a full tank. He said: "I tank my car with my own diesel mixture and have driven it for 105,000 miles without any problems." - Ananova  Signaturealt.usenet.kooks "We are arrant knaves all, believe none of us."

I'll bet that would stink worse than low grade, high sulphur diesel like they used to burn in the big rigs.
