Hi all, I thought i should start a new thread about the progress of resurecting my woodgas Chevrolet.
Im going to post som pic’s and thoughts along the process.
If im posting this wrong or something, please correct me.
Ok, so i did some attempts to lift off the gasifier for inspection, many bolts have rusted so i had to grind them off, anyway the gasifier DIDN’T came of, after a little investigation i remembered 2 bolts hiding between gasifier and the old condensation tank embarassing to not remember your own constructions.
Anyway, there is a new day tomorrow, going to cut down the condensation tank and remowe the bolts.
Göran, you certainly managed to collect a lot of shiny stuff. If only things weren’t so busy all the time I would have been down there in no time to check things out. Looking forward to this thread.
Thanks, i actually seen a igniter like this on a woodgas Mercedes many years ago and liked it, build one myself, the electrodes is from a oil-burner from an old boiler, connected with spark plug wire to an old coil from a Webasto diesel heater.
To complicate it some more i control it with a remote from an old truck loading ramp, it is very fun to have when leaving the truck at a supermarket parking lot for example, when curios people check out the truck
Talking cold weather gear! Been years since I seen a webasto, don’t hear about them anymore unless you see a far north Canadian trucker like I talked about in the Detroit thread a few weeks ago. They still run them up there. I recognized the ignitor from a oil burner since I had my shop heater torn apart last week trying to get the ignitor system to work
I could belive that, here in cold Sweden they are common, especially as i worked with heavy trucks before, this particular coil came from a Webasto from a bus, heating effect 40kw, almost the double from my house boiler
Your filter looks like some kind of mutant turkey on a thanksgiving dinner table.
DOW is a dirty business. I don’t think it’s ever going to appeal to the ladies. Takes Grannies lye soap to get the black off your hands and the cuticles and under the nails are a lost cause.
I wish I could find a supplier for a specific kind of bag. My mother buys bulk dogfood from Sam’s Club and the bags come with zippers. Very sturdy, feels like it’s 3 layers, solid poly then woven then another solid on the outside.
embarassing to not remember your own constructions.
