Interested by the mobile home remark. I’ve been living on a boat for six years and with two small solar panels, one wind generator and six lead acid batteries to store the power I’m pretty self sufficient for electricity.
click on the banner top or bottom at http://www.freepowerknowhow.com and you’ll be able to find plans to make your own solar panels and wind turbine, for home, caravan/trailer or boat. Every bit of free power you generate reduces the demand on dirty and/or dangerous power stations and you don’t have to invest thousands in kit, fuel cells or other, you can do it now.

Dear Mustaq,
EFOY Fuel in Japan is a 90/10 Methanol/Water and to be used only for EFOY Japanees models sold by Webasto in Japan. Methanol used with EFOY has the highest purity specification and any other methanol will damage the fuel stack. Unfortunately SFC EFOY does not have fuel structure in Africa and currently looking for sales partners in South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and neighboring countries. If you potential distributers in your country, let SFC EFOY know by visiting their website. With regards,

Mark

Sorry Mustaq, I can’t advise you with any confidence. But if they’re anything like diesel engines, you would need to ensure the methanol is of very high grade and filtered properly. You might also like to take a sample to a laboratory near you and test to see if any other elements exist in the Efoy methanol than what you can obtain in your country.

Otherwise, my only other guess would be to contact Efoy themselves. They should be able to help you out no matter what.

Dear sir Very intresting. Could you please advise me.
I have a German caravan with an Efoy Fuel Cell. Since my country Zimbabwe does not have such energy systems. I have tried to buy catridges here in Japan. I was told their Efoy Fuel Cell use catridgers, that consist of a diffreant % of methonal. This means I can’t use the catridges in my country. Would it be possible for me to use high grade methanol sold in my country. If I can’t solve this problem, It will mean I have wasted a lot of money on installing this system.
Regards Mustaq.

Really?

I’ve heard NECO are generally quite good. That’s odd. There should be plenty of other stores which supply these units. Do a quick google and that should turn something up.

Googd luck getting your hands on one of these, Jason.

Last time I checked NECO was not able to supply any of these units, and were not able to supply a date when they could.
