Woodrunner chevy

Yep, easier to ask for forgivness than permission… if it ever comes to it. Honestly i have never givin it much thought. Just going to do it. Like most have said, most will not even notice… to foreign a concept.

We are rural compared to a lot of places… i just dont believe it will be an issue.:crossed_fingers:

Exactly, when i registered the Chevrolet i had half a binder of documentation, rules, certificates of leak tests, the inspector just skimmed through it. Better safe and sorry anyway.

I think if you are back blowing your system you will attract some attention. Some things are best done at night. In the late sixties they started using electric furnaces in the steel mills and these have all their smoke and particulates pumped into big bag houses. Very expensive to transfer all the junk into trucks and haul it away for disposal. Many dark and moonless night we would be working on some projects in the mill and see them back flush them into the atmosphere. Also saw them oops dump thousands of gallons of nasty sludge into the Detroit river and get a ten thousand dollar fine instead of many time that in disposal fees.

Almost the same can be seen (smelled) where i live, someone feeding their boiler or wood-stove at night, with old furniture or like, of “economy” reasons, or to get rid of it.
No one can se which chimney letting black smoke out, but everyone can smell burning, plastic-coated chipboard. Much smaller scale though.

Yup darkness can hid what the day light will show. As long as you are not the only one burning it out of a chimmey. But the nose , knows something is not right.

Hey Goran, do you have your woodgas underneath your original carburetor? Or is it beside it?

It’s underneath the carb, i remember doing a sketch of it, i don’t remember if i post it in this thread, or “Hello from Sweden” though?
Edit: It’s like a “spacer” underneat the carb, about 4" high.

One question yours.
See . . . even an encyclopedia brain can have pages sometimes stick together. Happens to me much all of the time now.

So… the filter “cartridge” are coming together, hard to believe it’s 9,5 m2 surface area.


Still some finishing touches to do, some sealing and stuff.

Should be really interesting to try this out.

It feels like light-up is near, but…
I have the lower mounting bracket for the gasifier to “invent” or construct, as it was before, there was a mounting flange directly under the middle flange-and 2 mounts welded in the bottom, i believe this puts some stress on the housing due to heat expansion.
So my idea is to make a lower mounting that is able to move a little-and be stable enough, i have some ideas based on a muffler mount from a Volvo heavy truck :smiley:
And i promise, then it’s time for next youtube video.

Looks like a masterpiece to me. I doubt I would never have the patience to make something like that.
