We all know what your intent is here Jeremy. I’m just relaying, exactly,what I’m seeing and watching a young man put this to work. He dumped a sack full of household garbage into his burner at home and it produced “wood gas”. Kinda hard to argue with the kid when I’m watching him do it. Google is a wonderful thing but it just won’t out perform facts. Thanks for the input though. There might be someone out there that doesn’t understand how coal is formed👍

My INTENT? I knew what wood gas way before the feed guy at the ranch enlightened your brain with it. But your mis information is still not factual. Wood GAS is a GAS. GAS is and never been LIQUID.

Go ask your Horse or your dog about what GASSES are while you evaluate anyone’s intent. Because According to only you all other sources of information can’t be accurate. If you talked to the guy more you may get it. Why do you think his storage for the Wood GAS is an air vessel? You never give credit to someone that knows more about something that you never heard of until recently. Gasoline is called what it is because it’s vapor is what is flammable. You should learn something in it’s entirety before trying to impress people with something you obviously do not even understand yet.

Wood gas is not a liquid. Look at the diagram of a wood gas system. It’s been around for a longtime.

I really hope you don’t assume the feed guy invented it.

Hey Hack. I visited with the kid making the wood gas today. The reservoir on top of his motorhome is a, low volume, pressure tank that he stores the vapor from the wood gas in. Sounds like wood gas can’t be compressed like propane but will tolerate low pressure to allow the gas to be pushed out of the holding tank. It’s got a valve that releases the wood gas vapors into his fuel line directly into the fuel system. The holding tank is about a 5 gallon sized tank that looks like an air tank. He can produce the wood gas and store it in the tank on top of his rig. He said it adds about 20 miles per gallon of wood gas to his total trip. So a full tank of wood gas will get him an extra 100 miles out of a tank of gas. It takes him about 30 minutes to make enough wood gas to fill the tank. It hinders the power a little bit and he can tell when he runs out of wood gas because the motorhome starts running better. Lol. It still increases his overall distance per tank of gas though so I guess it’s worth it to him. If he runs, completely, out of gas he can reduce pure wood gas from just about anything in a smaller burner on he rack of his motorhome to get him to the next gas station. He can use tree limbs, trash from the side of the road, anything that will burn. Kinda nifty I guess but not really one thing I’d be interested in doing just yet. He’s just planning ahead for the obvious weirdness goin on now.

So your telling us wood gas adds 20MPG? The vehicle probably gets 20MPG instead of 12 when it’s in use. He lets vapor into the air so the mixture is richer. So his throttle position can be backed off.

Some systems that have Gasoline/Woodgas have 2 throttles so can switch over.

My grandfather had a Model T that he added a secondary Holley carb to and then routed Diesel fuel line around exhaust manifold to preheat the fuel. Had 2 throttles. Started vehicle on gasoline. Got out on highway. When hot he slowly opened Diesel Carb throttle as he closed gasoline throttle. So essentially the gas carb was at idle . Preheated diesel fuel atomized easier and combusted with lower compression and spark plugs. His vehicle really got about 100MpG of gasoline while burning diesel. He got free diesel from his job because he was HD Diesel Mechanic and Fuel / Lube for Highway Construction. He also retired from Teamsters with a big Pension a longtime ago. When he was also in his 50’s when he retired. Some people retire because of wise choices in their younger days.

Well maybe she can trade it in for a Dodge Ram or Chevy as Ford has gone total Electric. The "Powers thtt be" don't care about the "Little People's" money problems. They never have IMO. They don't seem to like the Middle Class, as they have less good thought about the Politicians. Again IMO. But that's a whole different story.


Oh yeah. My newest rig is a 2000 and I’m trading backwards from there. I’d like to find a good old 3/4 Ford or Chevy 4 wheel drive pickup. In my opinion one would, easily, be worth the 20 grand we see them advertised for. That’s 1/4 the price of a new pickup now days and there’s no computer in them affected by the federal master switch. Plus I can work on those still with SAE wrenches. The elk ranch I work on has two, new 3500 Rams and a new F-350. All four wheel drive with flatbeds for feeding the elk and buffalo. One old 71 Ford F-250 and we use the old Ford way more than any of them because they’re all broke down most of the time except the old Ford. 👍
