Coal gas planned as automotive power for gasoline use
Washington officials show interest in substituting coal gas to power automobiles and engines. The plan, developed abroad, would require about 260 cubic feet of coal gas per gallon of gasoline. A balloon fabric gas bag mounted on the car supplies gas through the carburetor with a check valve and cutoff to switch to gasoline. Engine power drops to about 90 percent with coal gas, needing higher speeds for best results. A regulated acetylene mix may add the needed kick.
