    Any members own a wood gas powered mv?

    Oh yeah I wanted to say something about diesels. The kits we sell can be installed on a diesel engine with a dual-fuel situation. That is to say, the woodgas complements the diesel and increases fuel economy but you're still using diesel fuel. We've also done spark conversions on diesel...

    Fuel Jelling Problems / Questions

    Haw haw, yes, the use of lube as fuel leads to endless jokes. This is surplus special-effects explosion fuel. There's a guy in NYC who wants to get rid of much, much more of this stuff- 8k gal was the LEFTOVER from his road show TRAVELING STASH. He adds paraffin to make it burn the way he...

    Any members own a wood gas powered mv?

    Well, it's a "pain" in relationship to your situation. It's the challenge of any alt fuels project to make sure the money saved is worth your time. There are lots of people (especially in the third world) running these every day. I think in a stationary application it's particularly suited...

    Last ditch fuel choices for a Multifuel....

    I've searched the site and can find no mention of petroluem jelly. Yet for various reasons we find ourselves with 8000 gallons of it that need to go! Has anyone run a deuce on it, or, do you think a simple heated tank would liquify it enough? I wonder if there is something that can be added...
