For your information hereby a diagram from the "Imbert Holzgas-anlage".
In western Europe the company Imbert was well known for their woodgas generators.
I have a 8mm film taken in my hometown in the years 1940-1945 and all civilian operated trucks in that movie have this woodgas generator installed just behind the drivers cabin.
Besides producing gas, another by-product from the proces was tar, which obstructed the system regularly.
Removing the tar was a very time-consuming and dirty business.
Translation from the German words in the diagram:
I. Gasgenerator
II. Sedimentation-separator.
III. Gas cooler
IV. After-cleaner (polisher)
V. Starting fan
VI. Control unit
