Brrrrr Wayne. You better layer up. 34F here and all the snow is gone. Getting close to beach weather. Pretty soon you will be able to hear the ski resort owners and snowmobile dealers crying and wailing all the way to Alabama.

We get this kind of weather you are speaking about. And right now I am looking forward to that weather getting back here where I live.

We get winter and prepare for winter. Of course there is a couple of months of sweltering 80ās with the associated sweating and panting and cursing the bugs but thatās just thrown in so you donāt mind winter so much.

Yes, I could stand 75F, we have 14F, gets cold to the fingers after a while, still a little damp in the air.

Mr Wayne, the difference between a car and a tractor is that when you run a car on wood you can drive down the road into the unknown and observe the surroundings, listen to the music and enjoy the free ride, but when I run a tractor it forces me to work, well, that is a pleasure in its own way.

What year is that Subrau? 2.5 L engine? I am working on a charcoal gasifier hook up for mine on the back bump. Mine is a Outback 1996 year OBD 2 2.5 L engine. Yes what Kristijan said.

Ha, I donāt think Iāve ever dared to rev above 4000 rpm, not to implode filter containers and such 
It would have been even more interesting to see how the Subaru reacted under load. A complicated experiment though
Is the new gasifier of yours ending up on the Subaru or the pickup?

JO, Bob, Subaru is a 1999, 2.0 l engine, it has replaced the heads from the 1.8 engine and thin metal gaskets from 1.6 mm to 0.6 mm, so it is CR 1:13, I intend to make a light compact unit that I could install on truck or in the back of a Subaru, empty must not exceed 100 kg and in floor plan 60 x 120 cm, it will probably be in a closed case and forced cooling with a 12V fanš¤

Hi Tone I am quite a bit behind on the DOW. Been taking a rest.
To add engine loading doing this kind of testing add a big discharged battery to the electrical system to force the alternator into fully charging.
Do your testing on a warm day and run the AC system at MAX with the doors open.
Last; turn the steering wheel to full lock and hold. Limit the time on this.
Ha! And only challenge Southern Boyās to racing on winding twisting mountains roads when in the snow. They have no clues. No developed seat of the pants slip&slide. Braking on&off only on the good patches. Get the ācheatsā working in your favor.
