      You might be surprised at what is allowed, but you will have to usually jump through a lot of hoops and such to get it on the road. Don't expect much help from the DMV either.

      I used about a bag of coal - 25kgs. No idea how much oil, but it's very little. Certainly less than 100ml.

      Not entirely sure on water as I didn't measure it, but probably 150 litres. She take about an hour or so to get to pressure from cold.

    you should get your tires vulcanised onto the wheel they wont come off then

      Yeah, been looking at that. Only trouble is that I'll need to repaint the wheels and get them relined. Best way to go undoubtedly, but also expensive.
