[TRADITIONAL LOGGERS]

I thought with fuel prices going up again and dark winter evenings that this website might interest those of you with decent supplies of logs/woodchips.

there should be a button on google to translate finnish into english.

that is very interesting, is there a kit available or is it a case of 'here is the science.. off you go'? i have an old landy sat waiting for me to find time to mot it, it has plenty room for tanks/boilers and i could maybe find a bit of wood waste to run it on.

Does your contact have any experience of converting Merc diesel engines to woodgas. At present I am looking at a MB Trac conversion using a stak 100k gasifier. My problem arises with wanting to use 100% woodgas instead of the normal 80% for diesel engines.

Yes the people on that site have much experience in numerous engines Petrol/Diesel and district heating of homes so worth sending them an E-mail. Have a look at Genom Sverige med ved i tanken as some useful info there and videos of equipment including a tractor used for organic food production in Sweden. Worth going on You Tube and looking at woodgas and woodgas vehicles.

Yes it seems strange that loads of vehicles (including double decker busses) were run on it in the second world war, but now somehow the technology is largely ignored.
