<div class="aolmail_MsoNormal">It is not a problem to fuel two engines off of one gasifier. It would be similar to that of fueling two engines on one natural gas feed line. Several steps make it easier, to measure the gas heating value continuously which can be done relatively inexpensively less than $300-500, and to maintain a fixed gas pressure in the gas line from which the gas is supplied to the engines. </div>
