hey

thats pretty cool

this is some back to the futures junk !

You need a bigger gage on that :)

I saw the title and my mind immediately jumped to Back to the Future. I love it.

Methane, hey?

Wow, that's very interesting. We use LPG in Australia as well, you see it used a lot in large cars (family sedans etc) with 6 cylinder 3.5 litre engines or higher, and a lot of taxis. You almost never see in 4 cylinder cars though.

wow, i never expected that! Here in italy car with 3.5L engine (with 5 or more cylinder) are not common, are very expensive but the best for Methane (like large Mercedes or Bmw). Instead normal people use hatchback with small engine from 1.2 to 1.8L and are not the best, they are slow but you can make a lot of km with low cost (like 10€/16AUD$ for 300km). Other problem is the weight, like 100kg for an implant and only 500km of maximum autonomy.

Yeah, all of Europe is like that. I visited family in Greece last year and they think that a 1.8l motor is big. In Aus, 1.8l is small. For a family sedan, 3 - 4 litre motors are common. We're kind of like the US in that respect - cars are larger because petrol is cheaper ($AUD110 - $120/litre)

Biggest problem with installing LPG is the tank - it takes up far too much boot space. Power isn't usually a problem because they only normally get installed on large cars anyway.

Sorry, that's cents, not dollars -
AUD110 - 120 cents per litre, so 67 - 73 euro cents per litre.

Is the wood gas any better or worse than pump gas for the engine?

Will an engine run on this form of gas for 100,000 miles without doing damage to the internal parts?

Has anyone done any long term test on such a system?

How often would you have to tear it apart and clean it if you used it on a daily basis?
