[Gasification] Woodgas Truck

[Thomas Reed]

Dear Glen:

The new rig looks beautiful.  Great pictures, though I couldn't deduce 
the control system from the dashboard knobs and switches. 

You should consider putting an oxygen sensor in the exhaust line.  A two 
wire sensor costs ~ $30 and indicates too rich, too lean and just 
right.  Lean is 0-80 millivolts (you'll need a meter) and rich is >600 
mv.  You could put an automatic control on the choke to keep it in 
range.   Maybe you could use the same oxygen sensor already on the truck. 

How big is your wood fuel and what is the moisture content?

Keep me posted on how she goes.  Wish we were closer together....

Looks like you have a great working farm.

You could write them directly at johan at vedbil.com and send them your 
pictures and questions for comments.  I hope to see your truck soon 
somewhere on the web. 
Onward,
