[Gasification] anaerobic digester gas for IC engine. (OT)

[Greg Manning]

Hi Mark,

I aggree, this is somewhat of a cross-post, they should have put "OT"
(off topic, for those that are not computer savy) at the begining of
the post, as these two worlds (Anarobic and Gasifiers) produce
extremely different gas structures.
