can you imagine running out of piss on the side of the road, and asking someone to help out by pissing in your tank... you could fill up at your mercedes P-class at home for free, the toilet would be connected to a tank....then you could throw beer party's and collect the profits...... piss on those oil sheiks

"Any vegetable oil can become fuel, but not until its fatty acids are converted to chemical compounds known as esters."

This is not true. You can burn straight veggie oil in a diesel. The only thing you have to do is heat it up so the viscosity is thin enough to pass through the injectors. very easily done by using the cars heater hoses. There are a multitude of diy kits on the market. As a matter of fact Rudolph Diesel created the diesel engine to burn peanut oil.

Btw

You can also burn waste motor oil in a diesel as long as you filter it to 5 microns and thin it out w/heat.
