It's been a couple of years since I saw Wayne Kieth. I assume he is still doing the wood gas thing.
He lives about 40 miles from me near Springville, AL.
My neighbor and I have discussed building a wood gassifier but we both have projects that over ride doing it right now.
We were going to...
I have known these trucks since 1991 and those solenoids have always been problematic.
If you stood in the Motor Pool on a quiet night you could hear them disengaging on all the trucks with low batteries.

I found an old Chief Warrant Officer and told him my plight.

I've been on the hunt for a dump myself but they are selling for stupid money on all the auction sites.
A multi-fuel like you just bought went north of seven grand on GSA a few weeks ago.
The multi-fuel is going to be a toad in the road and there is very little you can do about it. There are a...
