About detail on truck, link is turkish:) live chat with you could help me a lot if wad possible:)
Ali,
The filling rate is about 70% in the optimum range, depending all the tubing and the design of the engine plus the actual rpm.
Cooling down the gas , as cold as possible helps, adding a charger to compensate helps, so many things are possible and can be done easy.
But first make gas, good quality gasā¦ the best engine would never perform better then poor gas quality makes it possible.
So first the feedstock ;
Wood, Charcoal, coal or antracithe ?
Then second;
Choise of gasifier
Thirth;
design and details for the gasifier

Many steps to go, but also for learning Turkisch we start with first wordā¦ Merhaba arkadash
Hi Ali and Koen
I have tried to run a naturally aspirated Diesel engine on wood gas, it will maintain an idle but no more. The research I have done it you will have to have some form of positive inlet manifold pressure system, either a turbo or super charger.
You will have to still have a diesel to pilot ignite the wood gas.
If you look at the Trillion gasifiers you will see the diesel engines they gasify are all turboed.
Your best thing to do would be to test the engine first by running on diesel and placing a pipe in to the air inlet and blowing LPG or handy gas .
As Wayne has done in this you tube video .
If you can adjust the engine revs by adding more LPG there may be a chance that the diesel will run on wood gas with a diesel pilot ignition.
This is Wayne running a vw rabbit on wood gas , but the gas is being blower in to the rabbits inlet not sucked.
Good luck
Patrick
Hi Patrick,
Yes you are right about the pilot fuel and more important is the advancing in timingā¦
otherwise the gas is just burning after compressionā¦
Diesels will run fine on woodgas, you will have to advance the timing and manipulate the injection system so that it does not inject more fuel as throttle is increased. Apparently this is relatively difficult so currently the thinking is that is often easier to convert to spark ignition. If they have very high compression you may run into knocking problems.
Hi Magne,
Indeed as you say. But not so difficult dough with the newest motor managements, even have knock sensoring for automatic ignition timing.
Because its rather easy to manage, most units have dual fuel modus. Almost no adjustments neededā¦
Mr. Gilmore,
You can run an 8 liter engine on charcoal gas? Your pdf instructions and YouTube videos limit the Simple-fire to about 20 HP. How would you scale up a charcoal gas system to a larger engine?
