[Vwdiesel] Human fat to biodiesel

[82 Diesel Westy]

now, wouldn't all this just make too much sense and
cut out all the middle men the get rich off of the
disposal of this stuff in all those red bags.  Nice
thick mil plastic that all get incenerated somewhere I
guess and add to our polution issues.

You would need to walk in the door with a turn-key
solution and you might be able to sell it.

Good thinking all.
