First of all, if the exhaust went through the water there would be no way to collect the resulting pressure from the steam. It would go out with the exhaust.

Second, unless you could keep the steam circuit closed (with a condenser) you'd have to carry a significant amount of water to make this work. Water is heavier than gasoline.
