New Build - Isabella Mini Gas Station

[Sabbadess]

Hi Wood Gassers,

I am frantically building before my shop becomes encased in ice and cold. This week I built up my little Isabella machine into a full system. The performance numbers were amazing! Here are the details.

I will embed the videos at this link. Isabella makes some SERIOUSLY high octane gas.

Hey Stephen i put the Video directly inside.
You can easily add youtube videos with the youtube link. The description can be found in the "Tips and Tricks" Section.

Thanks, Pascal. I will remember that.

Hi Wood Gassers,

I had the Mini Gas Station running a chipper this afternoon:



It went quite well. When I was done the chipper started on gasoline on the first tug.

This is a terrible video showing the start up sequence:



Skip the first five minutes. The operator was an idiot.

Hey Stephen
Nice setup. Did you test the chipper under load?
Why do you have the air mixer so far mounted the engine? I think the engine would start much better when the air mixer would be mounted directly on the carburetor. Also switching on load would be much better. I have found in my tests as the best option. The condensation problem would also decrease because now the cool air is mixed with the wood gas very early.

Hi Pascal,

Absolutely! The long hose is a problem. Part of my experimenting is to figure out how much I can tolerate. I like the idea of being able to bring over anything I want to run as opposed to hard mounting the application, but there is a cost. I started with 8ft of hose but I am down to 6ft. I let the gas hose get too close to the engine exhaust. Ooops!!

Hey Stephen,
Why do not you just make a T-piece hose connector on the end. At this tee you fasten a quick release for the carburetor and the ball valve for the air supply. So you've got the same effect.
And no explosive gas / air mixture in long lines.
And just as easily be connected to any other engine.

Because I am collecting enough condensate in the carburetor sump to want to keep this setup as long as possible.
