Re: GAS-L: Internal Combustion with Producer Gas

Thank you Mrs Parikh;

I quoted you poorly. You had mentioned 12:1 at the best upper level due to
knocking beyond that range. Thank you for supplying the upper limit -- 14/15:1

Wish I was at your facilities in India -- I am sure with a little fine
tuning -- that can be over come -- and for an economic investment.
