i only have a lawnmower engine and an old moped.

i dont know anything about engines, just know the air intake.

would a filter get rid of the tar

[alligatorsoupisgood]

@CharlieUSArmy Old vertical four strokes, go craigs list. Tar, cant filter it, you understand after you make a couple buckets of the stuff, cigarets are low temp gassifiers, they make tar. This is a high temperature gassification process, the one in the video just barely cuts it.

and how would that go ?? by using some gas once and a while or adding a tank for oil, but where duo i need to connect it to

tx for the fast response

[alligatorsoupisgood]

@CharlieUSArmy Old sound four stroke engines with overhead valves are nice for test use, its really all about getting the gas production under control, making tar free gas. To do that you need to pull the gas through a bed of at least 800c to crack the tar.

what if the engine you want to runs has not got a seperate oil tank, does the engien get destroyed then ???

[alligatorsoupisgood]

@CharlieUSArmy If you need a two stroke that needs oil in the fuel, you would need to find a way to add that somehow, otherwise, yes.

tars are water soluble. Try this. make a 4 inch bed of A-4 zeolite and stainless steel wool in a high steel tank with inlet into bottom of bed. outlet high. Right after the gasfiier. Then into a long cooler tube, then into a sealed bucket filled with water and cellulose filter. Then in and out of a sealed dry bucket with a fiber glass and polyester filter product. you could try using a group of standard gas line filters in a set in parallel for a final shot. gas should be 115 degrees F for eng.
