A sawmill owner in Alabama, Wayne Keith, has converted two of his trucks to run on wood. You can see his first truck at video.aol.com. His second truck gets about 7 km per kg of dry wood. About 2.4 kg of wood will provide the same mileage as a litre of petrol. It only takes about 45 seconds to get the engine to run on wood. The original petrol system is kept in place so he can switch from one fuel to the other on the fly. You can read more about his wood-fuel truck at
