WVO burners, watch out for bears

Thought some people here might find this interesting. It's from an AP/Newsday story yesterday.
Owner of biodiesel car says smell of vegetable oil attracted bear

WINSTED, Conn. -- A Winsted man believes the sweet smell of the vegetable oil he uses to fuel his car attracted a bear who damaged the vehicle trying to get at the biodiesel.

Larry Joy, a 53-year-old electrician, said the bear shattered a window on his 1981 Volkswagen Rabbit, tipped the plastic fuel tank on its side and gnawed on car hoses about two weeks ago. He said the evidence included muddy paw prints around the broken window and a pool of cooking oil on the rear floorboard.

Oh, and the reporter doesn't understand the difference between biodiesel and WVO, obviously. Sounds like this guy was running WVO in his Rabbit.
