Super cool, I’d like to see that for real. Thanks Sean

Hi Bronlin, heres the whole story behind the sparkplug.
Last week a customers car was towed to my workplace, he had accidentally filled up his VW diesel with gasoline.
We helped him, emptied the tank, and changed the diesel filter.
Ofcourse i took the opportunity to save the 50 liters of fuel, it works in my kerosene tractor or in my foundry burner.
But… it smelled almost only gasoline, if i try only little, little of it in the Volvo? Maybe it runs ok?
Well, i know better, i’ve tried before and it didn’t work out well then either…
So it started misfire, first only on woodgas, a little gasoline flushed it, and it ran good again.
Next day, after video, drove to work, started misfiring again, on the way home ran on 3 cylinders constantly, next day, to work, worse, ran on 2 cylinders, smelled like a kerosene tractor.
Saved money: 15 liters of free fuel.
Lost money: 4 new sparkplugs.
Wood is the only free fuel

I have only ever seen pictures of it. It is an 8 hour drive from here. I think students from Northern Michigan University help as well which is 2 hours away. It is basically a big winter party for engineering students. lol
They do have a finnish festival which was last week. I am not aware of any swedish festival though.

Goran, I really don’t know why I would destroy the spark plugs if the gasoline is mixed with diesel fuel,…?
At Fergi I now use 99% wood gas and some propane occasionally, well, very rarely diesel fuel. I can say that when I use diesel fuel I have to clean the spark plugs, because a black coating forms on them, which is obviously conductive and the spark plug does not spark. I heat the spark plugs with a gas burner, clean it with a wire brush and blow it with compressed air, and they work like new again.

Hi Tone, it’s exactly what happened sooty deposits on the plugs, shorting.
I know they are not destroyed, it was more a matter of being able to drive home without to much trouble, just swapping the plugs with new ones.
The old ones i saved, cleaned, and layed out for drying, so in can have them as spares in the car for later.
(And i was unsure how old the plugs could be, couldn’t remember if i had replaced them during the 15 years i had the volvo, but it seems i had, they looked pretty good.)

Here is another excuse that got in the woodgas way.
We are just very clumsy.
Broke down last weekend. Fixed it today. The grass is always greener at the other site. Rented this machine lastweekend. Very famous in The Netherlands but probably not abroad. Every streetworker wants one. Good, so do I. If they dont brake I wont either. Ha ha, we almost did. Not impressed. Our strange Timan lifts more and might be more durable. So I am very happy now, appreciate what I have. What a broken cilinder can do
