NICE Steam cargo Truck. I go to Steam engine shows and have never seen one. On Wednesday, December 3, 2014 8:45 PM, "'Norm Keller' normkel32@... [DSN_KLR650]" DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com> wrote:

Wood fire the thing so refueling off road would be simple.   Another might be to convert to CO (carbon monoxide) fueling rather than gasoline. That was popular in some areas during WW1.   Maybe I should stop speculating and vacuum the carpets?

I'm looming at buying a new Generator (RVing etc) That by a flip of a switch, you can go from Gasoline to Propane. There are already many Trucks, tractors, High-Lo's etc. running on Propane or Natural gas. Propane does NOT break down, as Gasoline, or CORN fuel does. AND With a small attachment you can GRILL BURGERS. LOL (TRUELY possible. lol)  On Thursday, December 4, 2014 2:25 PM, "'Norm Keller' normkel32@... [DSN_KLR650]" DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com> wrote:

I have some black walnut trees on my property and since I don't really care for the taste could burn the whole nut for steam generation or producing gas. I seem to remember walnut hulls being used for gas generation during WW1. Alan Henderson On 12/4/2014 1:25 PM, 'Norm Keller' normkel32@... [DSN_KLR650] wrote:
