Lipo-diesel story real?

I heard that plastic surgeon in California used fat of his own patients to fuel his bio-diesel car.





Is this true?





If so, can't they also use the blubber of beached whales to power bio-diesel rather them letting them rot?



Yes it is. I heard he is in trouble




It sure sounds like an urban legend, but apparently it really happened. If you google "plastic surgeon biodiesel" you get a bunch of hits that look reputable.





I don't know about whales, but I would guess that you would have to render or liquefy the blubber somehow before it could be used, which might be an involved, not to mention unpleasant, process.
