- hi walt. what do you want for the steam engine?? we want to run one as an adjunct to our 25hp boiler which runs our biodiesel plant and distillery.we would love to use an old timey steam motor to run a generator..we want a cogeneration segment as part of our fuel production system. P,S. are you talking about destructive distillation of methanol or using the chips for gasification? we are fitting out six wheel drive duece and a half with a chipper and a portable sawmill so we can implement a resource recovery program here in the Smoky mountains recovering bettle killed trees and recycling them let me know please how much for your steam engine..$$$ thanks Marc
