I think ive read it all: Is it possible to turn Wood and Charcoal (seperate) into gas that would run a engine?

I am reading a book that has some… very weird sciences to it.

Some people are trying to survive in a post America world, and they need gas to get 200 miles to pick up supplies.

The guy said that in World War 2 people converted wood, coal, charcoal to gas.

it says he needs a hot-water tank for the conversion and that it would get them where they needed but only at about 30 mph.

So my question is, is this really possible.

Anybody let a car sit for 6 months, then run it, how much water do you think got into the gas?

Anybody let a car sit for 6 months, then run it, how much water do you think got into the gas and how did it run? my car is running rough, putting out water (not coolant) from both pipes (it’s a true dual exhaust) even when hot. ’73 chevy 350.
SF bay area, it’s not that cold out here,, about 50 to 60 ish during the day, but it’s been sitting 6 mos, got a little white smoke from both pipes too, new HEI, plugs, wires, splitfires and holley carb. should be running better, lots of water in the exhaust, and some white smoke,,is it water?
Gas tank was near empty when I parked it.

If someone put water into a gas tank how long would it take for it to effect the car?

I pumped gas into my water holding tank in my boat by accident of course. What can I do to get the smell out?

It was a water holding tank for my boat. Will i ever be able to use it again. Is there anything I can do.

I drove into a huge puddle of water and now my truck is acting up :(?

I have a 2005 Nissan Frontier and i have kept up on maintenance and everything. But today i was driving and the road was flooded.. but i had to go in it. I was about a foot high but i made it through. I parked at my house and everything was fine. When i got back in my car tonight it started fine and everything was working fine. About 20 minutes later i went to pass someone and my car jolted and almost stalled. When i stopped at the red light, it started to shake really bad. When i would push on the gas to go.. it would almost die and would shake for about 10 seconds then it would catch and go, but slow, it would not accelerated fast at all. What has happened to my truck?

Where does the water infiltrate into front compartment in chevy venture?

Water was found under carpet on front passenger side of my 2004 van, my co-worker has the same issues on both sides. AC and coils, drain pipes are not the culprits. Apparently this is a common problem with Venture Vans and causes tons of electrical problems e.g. door and window lock/switch, fuel pump issues, lights, which are usually mis-diagnosed by mechanics (corrosion of connectors under the carpet never thought of?). Does anyone have a common fix for the water problem?
NOTE: You will not see any water or dampness from just looking at the carpet. You need to actually lift the carpet to get at the foam underlay and see the wire channels.

Did repair of fuel intake cause total engine loss due to anti-freeze leak into oil?

Have a 98′ Bonneville SSEI and have just been told engine is a total loss from anti-freeze mixing with oil after having the fuel intake repaired. Right after having the repair done at Meineke the car drove to bring it home, but the next day the car had no oil pressure when we came to a stop, and the check engine light came back on. Mechanic said they may have gotten water in the oil? and drained all the oil and told us we needed a higher weight oil because car was old. NEVER had to do this before and have never heard of putting a higher weight oil to fix an engine problem.The next time we went to drive the car it stalled – several times. We brought it to a Pontiac dealer who replaced vacuum hose. Car worked for 1 day (to and from work) and then lost oil pressure again and engine was knocking. The final diagnosis? Total engine loss and I’m pissed. Could Meineke have caused this damage? Did Meineke change the oil because they knew what was happening?

What can i do if some water might have gotten into my intake filter?

I drive a 06 Sentra SER. And i have a cold air intake. lately its been raining real hard for the past week. and i have still been forced to drive through it for about 5 days straight now. I haven’t ran through any big puddles at all (if any) yet.. But the freeways gets pretty hectic though….. I’m quite positive that i already took in some amount of water due to the rain, especially on the freeway. but the car still feels and runs fine.

If some water did get in….. Is there anything i can do to get it out? Like maybe FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER or something…….?

1990 Lexus LS400 has no power when driving but has had major tune up, Raw fuel seem to be leaking into exhaust

1990 Lexus LS400 has had major tune up with plugs, wires, rotors, distributors, two ignitor coils (A & B) and two ignition modules, But the motor stills lacks any power it vibrates when you accell and when you start to go the trans gives a harder shift than before. When the car sits at idol it vibrates the same as if you were trying to drive it. It must have raw gas going down the exaust manifold because just in front of the catalitic converter on the passenger side it will turn the brightest red and very hot, I have taken the car to the shop for a diagnosic test but they are already telling me to fix this small vacuum valve on top of the intake manifold right on the front near the water jacket and hope that fixes what this the motor performance problem is, Hope he’s right , for this new info I’ve already paid out 375.00 USD this should be an easy fix . ( RIGHT!!!)
The plugs and wires were removed and replaced one at a time and the three cats on this car are all good.
Hey Thanks for all the help!

Why does my ’05 Sentra’s gas tank turn into Old Faithful when I’m refueling on 1/4th of a tank?

I know there are many others with this same situation–as I found out during hours of searching online–but their entire situations did not completely fit mine. So I’m going to lay out the whole preliminary dealio here, so you guys have a ton of info to work with.
