I read of this method on The Science channel to create kerosene from unwanted fats. It was pointed out that human flab can be converted into bio-kerosene. Right now the process was working with trap grease from resturants. I used to work in a resturant and yes,... its as nasty as it looks on TV (urk!) Cleaning a grease pit is no fun task.

So if you got lots of Human flab laying around.... I believe 10 pounds of it produces 50-60 Miles per gallon. If your clients don't mind you using their "takeouts" go for it!

I don't have that much extra fat on my body, but am willing to let him have any belly fat for a free tummy tuck. Where do I line up?
