Gassification

[Forever_frost]

I've been toying with the idea of buying a pre-fuel injection truck and modifying it for gassification. As I have no mechanical skills at all, I'm gathering a crew up together to try it. So, if I suddenly stop posting, I've blown up.

Just letting everyone know

Like a bi fuel setup? make sure to add some timing to it and use a hardened valve and seat.

Are you talking about using wood gas to fuel your truck?

Keep me posted if so.

I'm pretty sure he is talking about capturing gasses from burning wood or coal and using it as a fuel similar to propane.

Wood, charcoal, trash, paper, etc. It was big in WW2 due to the fuel limitations.

I always thought it would be neat to have a generator set up to run wood gas for an emergency situation.

Still involves hitting up gas stations, or using oil. I was looking for something actually alternative

Not every place can refill the truck and I can't just fill it at home. Gassifiers, I can dump random stuff in the truck and go. I like the Mr. Fusion thought
