[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 1030092, member: 199791"] Having looked at info on wood gas generators, most people tend to put in filters to trap the creosote making the gas produced cleaner and less likely to mess up the engine, all depends on how big you want your system to be of course, and whether you want a reliable engine at the end of it... :) As for Methane generators, I recall seeing something a while back with Dick Strawbridge, where he put together a methane generator out of farm equipment to turn an ex-riding mower into something, even building a gasometer to store the gas, was a pretty neat setup, a bit large for a back-yard project, but still very interesting to see in operation... :) Just wish I could find the episode of the show it was in, and remember the name of said show too (It wasn't in "[I]It's not easy being Green[/I]", it was a later series)!! :-doh EDIT: Found it!
