When I first read this, I wasn't sure about why this would be rejected, then I understood: The film shows the extreme varieties of life that exist in extreme environments. Most certainly this film also talks about how the animals evolved to thrive in these unusual places, and therefore the theatres turned down this film.
Some people may not see the same value in this, but these folks are providing a standardized kit to allow their cars to run on a renewable resource. This needs no further elaboration.
The issue about engine temperature is disheartening, perhaps an inexpensive additive can be developed to thin the vegetable oil to an appropriate viscosity instead of relying on temperature?
Certainly much less harmful, especially considering what most powerplants use for fuel these days. Still I wonder how much better this process could become if something could be done with the CO2 gas...since it's only water vapor and CO2, perhaps it could be condensed and form another cheap source of laboratory carbon dioxide gas?
