Earlier this
year we signed on to
convert an 800 pound butter sculpture into biodiesel. It's a long story.
Each year the Philadelphia Farm Show commissions a butter sculpture as a
showpiece for the week long farm show. In honor of Ben's 300th birthday,
the theme for this year's sculpture was Ben Franklin and the Liberty Bell.
At the end of
the show, this stuff is so rancid there's nothing to do but dispose of it.
But by converting that half ton of waste into biodiesel fuel, Fry-o-Diesel
demonstrated that one man's trash is another man's treasure by creating a useful
fuel out of something that would otherwise wind up in a landfill.

buttery progress below.
