I can remember reading about oil-jackings about 8-10 years ago, but not recently. The serial thefts you'd read about involved somebody going around with a truck, breaking locks on the tanks, and pumping them out. I always figured they were wholesaling it, like when thieves steal aluminum guardra

Speaking of wood gas generators, I was listening to a guy on NPR the other day who had been in North Korea. He said that a lot of their military trucks were running off wood gas generators due to the lack of gasoline and diesel. Dan Sent from my iPhone On Jul 22, 2011, at 9:23 AM, Dieselhead <

Like $200+ cheap, at least for the 603. I pulled two from the junkyard, $15 each with the fan. I read elsewhere that the quick test is that it has some resistance when you turn it by hand, so that's what I did. I am hoping that one is good but I've been too lazy to install either, yet. :) Jim po
