"Natives ... drill a 5 centimeter hole into the 1-meter thick trunk and put a bung into it. Every 6 months or so, they remove the bung and collect 15 to 20 liters of the hydrocarbon. Since there are few Rabbit diesels in the jungle, the natives use the hydrocarbon as an emollient and for other nonenergy-related purposes. But tests have shown, he says, that the liquid can be placed directly in the fuel tank of a diesel-powered car." (Maugh, 1976)
"annual temperature of 20 to 27°C (with no frost)" So much for my back yard here in PA. I don't really feel like moving to a rainforest either.
But, still an interesting fact I thought. I read this first at Disney World in Animal Kingdom near the petting area. Of course, I got to Animal Kingdom on a PetroDiesel fueled Disney bus. I plan to write to them and hope to open their eyes to Biodiesel!
