Rindert, I’m sure they are. If I’m not mistaken @Woodrunner posted some of them a few weeks back.
There are loads of different documents about minimum distance from gasoline tank, plumbing routing, blower positions, fire extinguisher requirements etc. Both from during WW2 and 70s oil cricis.
I’ll try do some research tomorrow.

Hi JO, i have papers from 1974 somewhere, can look for them this week, i think also there are SBP rules saved at gengas.nu
Some work with translating, but i think many of the rules make sense and are good to follow.

@r_wesseling and others,
These are 5 chapters of “tips and tricks”, including Swedish regulations, regarding vehicle gasification.
Should be at least couple days reading and digesting 
There are loads of shattered governmental articles as well. However they are hard to find. Spred out in different departement documents - enviromental, vehicle, explosives etc. Maybe @Woodrunner will have better luck.

This is something that’s always on the back of my mind. The incredible sharing of information that’s been done on the Web that is gone in the blink of an eye because some one got tired of or was unable to keep a site running. Not to mention that the whole thing is dependent of some seemingly mythic server farm being able to keep drawing power from some outside source in a increasingly fragile world infrastructure. Think about the untold knowledge that was lost when the Library at Alexandria was destroyed. The same will happen with this. Very little of it can be hard copied.

Well spoken, and why myself and a few friends like to have books on hand, physical representation of knowledge learned by other, to not be lost in time

Yes.
Last weekend I packed up and location moved 16 cartons of the Wifes 600+ foods canning jars.
One by one up stairs into long term storage. The water bath, colanders, juicers, pressure canners, corn creamers, and cabbage slaw planer went into the house.
Ha! I’m glad Bob Mac just said stairs climbing was good knee strengthen exercising.
I also had boxed up 15 boxes of my books from here, up to the new place. Wife vetoed upstairs moving to going to be the book case landing until she is done painting. And I refused to put them into unheated storage. So . . . they live row stacked along the walls, around our bed. No want for night reading any more. And at least now references on hand. Not just imperfect recollections.
Ha! Another ~1500 books to sort through, decide to keep, pass on, yet to be moved.
Regards

Would not be fun in even a minor traffic accident… 
Might as well use some of that excess heat produced by ICE engines to warm you in the cabin.

I admit it’s a bad plan but sometimes you just have to do something outside the box just to keep the blood flowing. Have to admire the effort. He wouldn’t need so much heat if he didn’t shave the side of his head.

I seem to remember there’s a video on yt to go with that pic, but I can’t find it. I wonder what kind of climate would require that amount if extra cab heat? Maybe at @BillSchiller’s place 
On another note…maybe I should mention that this week I was made an offer I couldn’t refuse: I was offered a new job: to operate a 150 MW woodburner for district heating in town

Thanks guys, but I just read Joni’s thread and I already feel bad for posting the above…

Don’t feel bad JO. I truly believe that Joni will be a GREAT unsung hero in the rebuilding of his country and community. His time is coming for his knowledge to be truly be appreciated. It has touched me deeply that he reached out to our DOW community for help to find safety for his child. It is our challenge to deliver on his request.

Thank you Tom. I do hope you’re right.
There’s a lot going on right now and the risk of a nuclear disaster is one of them. I don’t know which is worst, misile threat or the risk of a reactor meltdown. Ukraine has 15 reactors and the battle of control has just begun. I’m sorry to say, but right now it feels like a 50/50 chance. I can’t imagine what another meltdown would mean for the locals - during the war - and in the future - for those who will still be around.
I’m checking weather reports on a daily basis to see what direction the wind is blowing. Iodine is sold out in our farmacies. Even up here we got our fare share of radiation from Chernobyl back in 86 and years to come. Didn’t eat mushrooms or moose for at least a decade and radiation is still present. Again - these are minor worries compared to what Joni and his countrymen are facing
