It wouldn't be a steamcycle, then. Also, we'd be talking about
five or ten minutes of endurance.

VXii25 has M (multi-fuel) for the stirling engine, but it says
M means gasoline or diesel. Compare multi-fuel diesels in Lite,
which can use gas, diesel, or jet fuel, and M on VE83 which 
means gas, diesel, avgas or alcohol. 

In theory, stirling engines should be among the least fussy.
