Are we sure about this denial?

Hi

Are we sure about this denial? This trivia contribution couldn't be any more trivial. It's basic, I think it's well formatted because it's informative, instead of just throwing out terms that a reader wouldn't understand if not briefly explained, and it's not too long.

So Could somebody have another look at this please or tell me exactly what is wrong with it so I can change it?

TRIVIA ADDITION

The civilian truck being driven by the French resistance is being powered by a a wood-gas generator, sometimes called a gasogene or producer-gas generator, as seen by the exterior container in front of the right side door with a fire burning in it and a smoke stack. The generator was essentially a large metal furnace mounted on the truck. The generator contained burning or smoldering wood/charcoal and produced a combustible mixture containing carbon monoxide, hydrogen and other gases. That gas was then fed into an otherwise conventional internal-combustion engine. These were popular at the time, especially in France, where petrol was in short supply and was used as an alternative to power a vehicle.
