Best Answer

The process to convert animal waste to gaseous fuel is rather simple. You would compost the feces and collect the fumes released by the process. One way would be to use two barrels. In the first barrel, you compost the feces by keeping it moist and stirring it regularly. You would use the second barrel to collect the vapors released during the composting process.

Dry animal dung has been used to fuel fire since man discovered fire. The feces of most animals especially ruminants has a large percentage of undigested cellulose which is good for maintaining a small fire. The gasoline you suggest would get the material burning and the addition of the rabbit droppings would add fuel and keep the fire going.

How do you fix burning poop?

If you are burning the feces to get rid of it, then your best bet would be to install an incinerator toilet. If you are burning it as fuel, then you may need to dry it and perhaps add an accelerant to it to help it burn better. If you simply want to create fuel from feces, then you can compost it in a barrel and somehow collect the methane gas that is released.
