I think you could even burn lard in that engine.

And lard comes in the big tub that says Manteca,
great for emergencies.

The lard can be treated like the SVO to become
Biodiesel which has had the glycerin and
impurities removed.

THis is what makes biodiesel a huge ethical risk - sounds great when
its a bunch of soybeans, penauts or god save us all from hell and
eternal damnation, hemp - but what kind of world will it be when we
burn up flesh to push our stupid cars and precious vanagons - esso's
"tiger in the tank"???

already the world is standing on the brink - and one more stupid
activity like farming sentient beings to make cars go zoom - its a
terrible thought and, in the scope of bad ideas, as profitable as the
next for someone and therefore bound to happen -

"I long ago lost a hound, a bay horse, and a turtle dove, and am still
on their trail. Many are the travelers I have spoken to concerning
them, describing their tracks and what calls they answered to. I have
met one or two who had heard the hound, and the tramp of the horse, and
even seen the dove disappear behind a cloud, and they seemed as anxious
to recover them as if they had lost them themselves." - henry thoreau
