Fill 'Er Up With Human Fat - Forbes.com (http://www.forbes.com/technology/2008/12/21/fat-fuel-biodiesel-tech-sciences-cz_pcb_1222fatfuel.html)
---Quote (Originally by Forbes magazine)---
How a Beverly Hills doctor powered his SUV using his patients' spare tires.
Liposuctioning unwanted blubber out of pampered Los Angelenos may not seem like a dream job, but it has its perks. Free fuel is one of them.
For a time, Beverly Hills doctor Craig Alan Bittner turned the fat he removed from patients into biodiesel that fueled his Ford SUV and his girlfriend's Lincoln Navigator.
---End Quote---
(Though it does seem odd that a Lincoln Navigator, of which no diesel version was sold in the US, would be able to do anything useful on biodiesel. The "Ford SUV" could have been a diesel Excursion.)
