How did the whole thing work? Were there any modifications needed? Did the engine behave differently when using it? Did it let off some kind of smell or unusual fumes? How would it compare to LPG?
I’ve recently read this story by a person recounting being a kid in an occupied country during WWII. He mentioned an instance of having tonsillitis and having to take a wood gas bus to go to the doctor in a far away town, and apparently it was quite unpleasant. He possibly meant just needing to go that far by bus alone, but it seemed like he’s referencing the wood gas thing in conjunction with it being winter specifically, and something about a stove was presumably used for heating?

Its pretty wild. You hook up what’s called a wood gassifier in place of a gasoline tank (or just rig it into the system). It takes in charcoal or wood and turns it into wood gas, which is a mixture of a lot of things and can be combusted. So thats the modification you need, and its going to be less powerful than gasoline. The smell and effectiveness is going to depend on what fuel you’re using and how well built the gassifier is
