My take.....the tank is in fact a cooling water hopper,or would be on a prototype......also typically these model engines ran on coal gas from the mains which was 50% hydrogen,50% carbon monoxide,and easily ignitable with hot wire plug......nowdays with greenies an all that ,there is no coalgas,the replacement from the mains being methane ,which is highly stable ,and wont work these small engines.
In Seattle, near where I live, we have the only remaining coal gas producing plant in the USA- it ceased making coal gas in 1937, and made an oil based gas for industry until the mid 50s. I kinda doubt "the greenies" caused it to cease coal gas production 80 plus years ago- I blame capitalism, myself. It wasnt making money.My take.....the tank is in fact a cooling water hopper,or would be on a prototype......also typically these model engines ran on coal gas from the mains which was 50% hydrogen,50% carbon monoxide,and easily ignitable with hot wire plug......nowdays with greenies an all that ,there is no coalgas,the replacement from the mains being methane ,which is highly stable ,and wont work these small engines.
