Greasy Fingers

|

California mechanic David Eck wanted to do his part for the environment by converting his cars to run on vegetable oil. But when state officials found out what he'd done they threatened him with big fines for not having a diesel fuel supplier's license, for not paying California fuel taxes on the oil he burned, for removing used grease from local restaurants without a license and for not having a state license to burn fat.
