Gotta be a wind-up surely?

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.
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.

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!

I wonder if the same process would work with Mr. Lewis's cadaver...

True....

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

Probably best to follow the Inuits' example and just use the blubber for lamp oil!

If only youd had a kitten as a little boy Alex; everything would be so different now.
