Hi Volks,




Just a mild thought to pass on the engineers 'round here.


Barring all infrastructure/current availability et al, what would it take to
swap an internal combustion/gas motor over to internal combustion/hydrogen??


The swap to methanol is pretty straight forward, esp for those running the
inlines
since I know that Brazil produces them side by side with the gas (I think
that's
why the Brazilian produced VW Fox digifant motors come with a lower
compression
head)


Then of course we've been the rounds on biodiesel a couple times..does that
do
OK in a TDI or not??
