GAS-L: h.p factor of producer gas.

["shuster" <shuster@zol.co.zw>]

DEAR ALL,
please could someone give me an idea on what horsepower to expect when
operating a gasoline
I.C. engine on producer gas as a factor of the rated h.p. of the engine when
operated on gasoline.
hope that makes sense
the theoretical factor is o.k. but I would also like to hear about figures
from practical operating sites.
while on the subject of sites does anyone have an idea just how wide spread
is the use of gasifiers
operating engines in the 10kw to 100kw range on a day to day basis in the
commercial sense.
I have traveled the southern half of Africa over the last 30 years
extensively but I have still to find a gasifier operating somewhere(other
than my own).
KIND REGARDS
ASHLEY
