How can I build a steam cleaner to carry with me in my truck (big semi

working on
the truck.

Thanks for the responses but this is not what I have in mind. I am looking
for a design for a water tank that is heated by a propane fuel with a high
efficiency burner that will generate enough superheated steam to locally clean
dirt and oily spots on a big diesel engine or other truck components. That
thing will have to fit in a side compartment under sleeper bunk of the truck.
So if I have to get my hands on the truck or get under it I would not get my
hands and clothes covered with huge amount of grease and dirt, and do a better
job fixing things. I do not want to carry big pressure washer around.

It sounds like you are describing a propane-powered steam generator used
for taking wallpaper off of walls. I suspect it would take a fairly
large unit to generate sufficient steam for cleaning the underside of a
truck. But these steam generators can be rented for a tryout.
