In order to size the gasifier you will need to provide the size of the engine to run the truck. The engine to run the alternator can be run off the same...
Hi White Bear, You can expect your IC engines to be even more finicky on woodgas than on gasoline so good luck there. I hope you are OK enough to be able to...

Hi Guys I picked up a 1985 Nissan truck with a carb 2.4 L. I am going to use a charcoal gasifer to run it or hybrid with gas, I have 5 , 1/2" ports in the...
Brian, 1/2 inch diameter is 1/4" radius. 0.25 X 0.25 X PI X 5 = 0.98 sq. in. of cross section total. N.F.G . You are running a 2.4L which I will assume is a 4...
