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.

But, his goal is not absurd. If you have a cheap and plentiful source of heavy oils, a vehicle that can run on it would be valuable.
And, I have made discussion of vapor engines in other threads and they do provide greater efficiency and not because of production of vapors.
