[Gasification] new small diesel engines from china

[jim mason]

i hadn't seen this yet, but on ebay there is a seller for 3.3hp water
cooled diesel engines for a buy it now price of $279.  also 12hp and
23hp ones for a little under $700.  amazing.  yes, likely a bit junky,
but for that price, own two!

these might make good entry platforms for producer gas rigs.
converting to spark would give you a high compression engine that
would perform much better on producer gas than a similar gas engine.
same for hydrogen (if you can get it).
