Very interesting article in Today's New York Times ( actually Sundays but I
get it on Saturday) about making motor oil out of beef tallow. Apparently
the 50,000 cattle slaughtered daily just in the Oklahoma panhandle for food
provides enough beef tallow to make enough motor oil to satisfy the
country's needs. Question is how much petroleum is needed to process it. A
certificating is pending from the American Petroleum Institute and is
expected in a few weeks.
