Query for engineering types

[jeriendhal]

How difficult would it be to make a combustion engine using Victorian/Edwardian era matierials that could use natural gas as a fuel? And how would it rate in efficiency when compared to gasoline or ethanol?

Drat. Ah well, may as well make it good old gasoline. Or I might make it alcohol, even though it has a lower energy release IIRC.

Actually if I go the alcohol route, I'll probably revise the earlier chapter on the airship to reflect that.
