I'm doing one of these to run an old compressor. Veggie diesel may be a possibility also.

I dunno about steam, cool as Ed Roth is, but there is a conversion kit sold called a "Volks-Air" that takes two cylinders of the VW engine, and turns them into an air compressor, with a replacement head with special check valves in it, and keeps the other two cylinders running as normal, essentially making an 800cc, 25hp beast of an air compressor.

It sits on a frame on top of a large tank, and includes caps to block off half the intake manifold and half the exhaust. It's a pretty neat idea really.

VWs rule!
