WW2 gas producer

JimKS · Dec 7, 2012

My latest prodject Iam working on is a WW2 gas producer that was used to produce gas for running tractors. This is done by burning charcoal,wood,grain,or other solid fuel. The one I have was imported from Austraila in the early 80's. Bought from an auction by " Pickles". It has never been used.
I would like to hear from anyone who knows about gas producers or knows of someone who has one.

Thanks

Jim

I built one a few years ago that runs my 17 KW electric generator with a Continental gas engine on it (F140).

Its also called "producer gas", for googling purposes.

Like this one? This one's at DaYooper tourist Trap in Ishpeming Michigan.

Ive got several links to Swedish companies making gas boilers that put anything else to shame if you want me to post them,but nothing else on gassification engines.

John.
What did you use as a "scrubber" to remove particulats, and how did you reduce tar production?

I have not been able to find very much about are the controls used between the producer and the existing carburetor .
