I agree...

there have been some guys around here (but I haven't seen them personally) that have done their PU's they put a highter rear gear ratio to keep up with road speeds.but it didn't sound all that inconvienient.

I think I saw a tractor in Farm show that ran on it also...old gas job.

I've been looking to do something with it for some time. Illinois has some movments to outlawing wood burning, some parts of the country it is already.

Hi! Everybody. Thanks ! I read infos. When Young I take mechanical courses from Old french Engineer. He makes GAZOGENES in WW2. He explains and gives me my some plans. The Gaz was from Wood coal or Charcoal as Bar-B Q. The system was more compact 24 in dia. 60 in Height For standard gaz engine( With some timing) Run well but less powerful Tell me. Sometime CAN EXPLOSE VERY DANGEROUS IF BAD CONSTRUCTION. May be a day We have need some . Thanks and Good luck! Oldmech
