I don't, and the insurers don't, care about the car catching fire. It's the putting it out bit.

  All cars, regardless of fuel, are extremely flammable. Once they get going they burn quick & hot. The fire department usually doesn't spend much time trying to put out a car fire inside a garage, they knock it down enough to throw a chain on it and drag it out onto the driveway.

  > the insurers don't, care about the car catching fire Of course they do. You think an insurance company would cover a vehicle using an open flame for power at the same rate and an ICE? And how often do charges actually catch fire where it’s not a total loss? For the insurance companies, the result is the same - a replacement. I can tell you that insurance companies charge more (though low double digits on the year) when your house is heated with e.g. a pellet stove vs a typical oil furnace.

    >using an open flame for power is this why i can't get coverage for my steam engine with a wood burning furnace?
