The reason I dont believe in vapor engines is if they offered such a great advantage then why dont propane and natural gas engines offer any advantage over gasoline engines?
If you had a turbodiesel you would have a high compression engine capable of incinerating most heaver fuels, built in waste heat recovery with the ability to expand waste heat recovery, the ability to burn e85, ethanol, methanol, natural gas, propane, gasoline with intake fumigation.
And run water injection and actually have it deliver measurable gains.
