[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 664216, member: 4386"] They were manufactured for 28 years. The startup time was ultimately a killer, and petrol (only slightly more expensive than water in those days) took over. They ultimately solved the start-up time with a quick-firing boiler, but by then petrol had stolen the market. "Producer gas" cars running on carbon monoxide produced from steam and coal were also used. Highly toxic. About 130 km per charge of coal. [ATTACH type="full"]8228[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
