i assume there cant be many cops,or even other people,in parts of sweden,I couldnt go 5 miles without getting nicked in the uk for using an illegal fuel source thats not subject to tax on the road here in the shitty UK.

Oh yeah? Well, i survived three hours with a wood-gas powered car in London a mounth ago :-) (First time i ever drived a car in the UK with left side trafic)

[silver760]

you could probably get away with it with swedish plates,but definately not UK ones.

[vedbil]

It was UK registered, but I think you are right. I was probably joust lucky. :-)

hur vet du när du ska fylla på? tappar motorn kraft?

[vedbil]

Kollar på tripmätaren. De går ca 5 mil på en laddning. Ja - Kör man för långt, så tappar den kraft och systemet blir väldigt varmt.

I've just spent ages reading your website about the fun you've had with this car. I think I want one!

Keep up the good work.

Great soundtrack too, Who is it and what's it called? I need that too.

2 questions.. 1. what is the fuel? wood chips, pellets, sawdust? 2. how far can you drive before needing to add more fuel?

Rise up!dont put up with that nanny state run by innbred royals!Hell,you cant even own a gun in the UK.We wont tolerate the state sticking their hand up our ass like that here.

There were producer gas busses in London in the 40's, but then peas and prospectivity happened.

Saw a Honda 125 in Gainesville Florida in the late 70's - producer stack in an old fire extinguisher on the back rack. I wanted to put a stack in a sidecar on a 500 single. There ought to be a way to do it better / lighter / cleaner / safer. Silver (Long John?) here is right to be pessimistic about UK authorities though.

Cheers to all of you, Good luck Vedbil and KEEP GOING.
