How much steam did your planned engine require?

I was the original poster. I have never planned to build a steam engine.
I merely noticed that once you removed the tank valve and cleaned out the
methyl mercaptan that an old propane tank looked like you could just put
water into the tank and a steam valve at the top (it's just 3/4" NPT) and
put it on a big propane outdoor burner. So I wondered publicly if it would
work and from the response it sure looks like it wouldn't!!
