That is awesome.  i didn't completely understand how the wood-conversion process works because my head was/is spinning.

i think the problem(s) is not with the cars/trucks, but with the engines.  Or more specifically, the fuel;  Gasoline in and of itself is not so much the problem---there is plenty of it.   But because demand is high, the price will be high.

i still feel my vision of high-compression and water injection is probably the best overall short-term solution, in general, for most people maybe.

i want to convert my brothers old 82 6.2 2wheel drive pickup into a waste fuel truck but i think its pretty expensive to get the setup in your garage to conver it.
