Can't say I'd be tempted to drive to Perth with one.

SupporterAussi inventor extraordinaire Kurt Johansen ran his station wagon (Dodge Pheonix?) on a wood gas producer, and toured all over the country using a small chainsaw to provide fuel from the roadside. His book 'Son of the Red Centre' is a great read.

My grandfather ran a taxi with a wood chip gassifier on the back in Adelaide during WWII.

My first impression was a setup to distil something to run the RR on spirits and have a drink during the winter nights
Just wonder which kind of suspension have at the back.

I doubt very much that Dodge used the name Phoenix in the 1930s, and if my memory serves me right (I can't find the book - have I lent it to someone?) it was a ute not a station wagon, which would have been very rare in the early forties. I don't remember him using a chainsaw either - an axe, I think.
Gas producer vehicles were not particularly rare during wartime fuel rationing - the difference was Kurt designed and built his own.
I have a Defence department pamphlet comparing commercial gas producers for vehicles dated 1940 - there are about twenty different designs.
