Gotta be a wind-up surely?
I find it very hard to believe that you can make 2.5 litres of fuel out of a cat, I mean a cats volume is only about that much anyway - and is composed of summat like 70% water right?
Be great if it's true though.
Koch said the cadaver of a fully grown cat can produce 2.5 litres of fuel - meaning around 20 cats are needed for a full tank.

Without knowing the exact chemical process its hard to say for sure, but I don't think the process relies directly on wringing out cat juice!
When you burn diesel you get CO2 and water (amongst other things), yet you can't say that diesel is the same X% water before burning!

He claims to have driven 105,000 miles on his mixture, lets say his diesel does 50mpg so he will have used 2100 gallons of fuel.
If he gets 2.5l per dead cat, thats about 0.66 gallons
In my reckoning thats about 3182 dead cats!

LOL!
To be fair it does say the process works on various types of refuse.... I think they might have laboured on the 'cat' aspect for sensationalism..... imagine that!

But it would be the lowest grade petroleum, prone to vapourising at the first sign of difficulty
