You gotta admit the ladders leading down into the crankcase are da bomb.

I think Stanley Steamers run on gasoline or some other petroleum
distillate. They did NOT run on coal.
The one Jay Leno brought to the Chrysler Performance West Spring Fling
in Woodley Park a few years ago certainly used liquid fuel. He claimed
to have gotten it up to 85mph, but had to stop every 25 miles...for water!

Re: More VW Diesel Knee-Slappers
"The underside of the boiler and shows the burner. The burner is of
vaporizing design (like a Coleman Camp Stove) which means the heat of
the burner fire is used to vaporize the liquid fuel prior to it being
mixed with air for burning. Kerosene from the main fuel tank is pumped
to 140 pounds pressure for delivery to the burner. It is fed into a
vaporizing coil located just above the burner grate where the liquid
changes to vapor. The vapor is then directed through a nozzle and into a
venturi mixing tube where it eventually makes its way to the underside
of the burner grate. Passing through holes in the grate the air-fuel
mixture burns on the surface of the grate. A small pilot continuously
burns to serve as the ignition source for the main burner. The pilot is
also a vaporizing design like the main burner but it uses white gas at
25 pounds pressure as its fuel source. The main burner is automatically
fired depending on the steam pressure in the boiler. As you've probably
guessed, there is no ignition key for a Stanley but rather a Blow Torch
serves as the "key" to starting a Stanley! Once the pilot is lit a
Stanley is always ready to drive."
