No, I didn't, but wish I had. I wasn't able to go to the site. All my work was done in lab.
By the way, I know one of the guys (or did, not sure where he is now) who worked on that
deep-fat-fried transportation. I'm not sure if it was the same group that you are refering
to. The one I am thinking of was at WSU. I believe the project was for the military, to have
a means of fueling if we had petroleum problems. The guys on that project I talked to said 
it worked VERY well...But wasn't actually any cheaper then diesel, unless you produced the
waste oil yourself. The engines were apparently only lightly modified diesel engines.
