I've kicked the same idea around, but for a tiny
diesel or an even smaller gasoline engine that
would just recharge batteries.

Will the 318 run on propane or something less explosive
than gasoline?   No, I don't know what I'm talking about.

I once ran across a set of plans for running an outboard
with steam.   A boiler is separate from the outboard and
the steam line runs to the cylinders.   Can you adapt
that idea?  

The real problem is the explosive and uncontrollable
nature of gasoline.
