[Gasification] Fuel Delivery

[Kevin Chisholm]

Dear WJ

OK... but the problem ios that the engine computer algorithm was set up 
assuming the engine was being fed gasoline. How does the engine know 
that it was burning woodgas, and that it should provide more advanced 
ignition?

Is it possible to re-program the engine computer with a different 
ignition advance?

Best wishes

Kevin
