From what I studied in the past and flipping through Wayne’s book, older vehicles or dodges sweet spot were ideal gassifiers…
But my buddy left this truck on my property to die because it needs a bunch of front end work. Then as the electric rates continue to go up I was thinking that paper weight could be my motor to a 25kw pto genset with a gassifier.
Could someone just lay it on me straight and simple if this is feasible? My father in-law has a saw mill 100 feet from my house with 300 yards of logs on each side of the saw mill road. Plus local tree guys will drop me waste wood if I needed it.
This simple, hard? Where would I plumb in the wood gas, how do I get around injectors and timing? I know just enough about mechanics and engines to study specific motors, then I can follow instructions. But I had this vision of gutting motor and putting carburetor on it, locking the wood gas so the driveshaft is spinning at desired speed for power, but I guess governor’s are good… Idk
Don't have a pot to pee in, electric bill is 400 a month, would rather process wood myself at home and feed the hopper.
