A British engineering firm called Oaktec is a planning on running a Honda Insight rally car, (yes, we just said Honda Insight rally car) on “cow slurry” in the near future. “Cow slurry” is a polite British term for cow poop. As in manure. As in BS.

More specifically, the engine will run on the gas that is made when the cow pies are fermented in a process that must smell like 1,000 rotting garbage dumps. The team thinks that this could be a major breakthrough for racing all over the world as it would move the fuel source to one that is sustainable. Cows are not going to stop making “slurry” any time soon. Although we cannot fathom what a “slurry plant” would smell like.

FarmersGuardian.com ran with the story and spoke to the team. They plan on having the car out and running on the fuel in less than a year.
