with all this talk about gas and how to store it i almost forgot why i was going to do it in the first place. Nope, not just for fun. I want to run my boiler on it to back up my wood boiler. I now i can make a few improvements on my wood boiler system, like adding more water storage etc.etc. So i really only need to burn the wood gas for maybee an hour a day in the early morn. so i don't have to get up too early to re-load. Now there is no doubt that if i want to store the gas it will most definitly be in a gas form. I am still thinking about small propane tanks, since i have a handfull of empty ones from old barbaque grills. So if i draw a vacume on a small propane tank, not too much to implode it, Collect the gas in the inverted water drum method, connect it to the propane tank and the vacume will draw in the gas. Then i can use the small compressor to compress more gas into the tank, maybee at around 60 psi. If i build a manifold to connect 6 tanks together and into a regulator then to the burner. The tanks should be a pretty safe way to store the gas. Except for the fact that the gas will not have an odor. I suppose i could devise a way to give it an odor. Anyway, that is just the basic idea, for my experiment not including filtering and lots of plumbing. Of course i could aways put more thought to burning waste veg oil in my boiler but since it is outside in my detached garage but keeping it warm could be a challenge.
