Does anyone here have a link to a site about methane gas generators? Perhaps something similar to Collaborative Biodiesel tutorial. I want to get my feet wet..not be intimidated.

92 dodge cummins with over 260,000 miles. Running an unheated 50% diesel/50% WVO blend for about the last 75,000 miles when temps above 50 deg f, no modifications or heating except the addition of a throw-away in-line fuel filter (removed during cold weather).
As of 8-01-05 I have been testing a 75% WVO/15% gasahol (90% RUG/10% ethanol)/10% diesel blend. Works fine down to about 65 f then starts rough. Runs ok once engine warms up. Back to a 50/50 diesel blend sence 9-15-05, just to cool now. -- 11-01-05 Modified stock fuel tank internal fuel pickup to have I.D. of 3/8 inch, this eliminated cold start slow idle and bogg on acceleration. Now adding 1 ounce each of acetone and pure gum spirits of turpentine to each 5 gallons of any blend, seems to help keep the fats in solution to a lower temperature --Heated 2nd tank in the works

That really didn't help....WASTE GAS...as in the gas namely methane released from human and animal waste.

Doobie Ex,
go to the top of the page. Click on FIND. Un-tick the 'search current forum only' box. Type METHANE into the query box.
This gives over 200 hits that refer to methane on this site. It's up to you to sort them. Have fun
regards
dva
