Just looking for alternatives to the overpriced "Dino juice" that me 2A drinks and the money garbbing B**** keep putting up
and I came across this.

Construction of a Simplified Wood Gas Generator for Fueling Internal Combustion Engines in a Petroleum emergency.

http://www.gengas.nu/byggbes/index.shtml

Has anyone tried it ?
is it legal in the UK?

It looks like it could be a bit dangerous but it would turn heads.

Would the money grabbers try and tax wood chips?

Dont think its the weight thats thats the problem, what does a full 18 gallon petrol tank weigh?But that weight of wood will be a large volume!And fuel tanks are designed in to cars whereas not all load areas are great!
 
An old friend of mine used to do this. Worked quite well for him as he ran a sawmill in the mountains. His crane, welder, forklift, and truck all ran on sawdust. Been thinking of doing the same here 'cept using dried cow poop so i can say it runs on bull****. :rolleyes:
