Yes I get that but igniting your face would be pretty horrific. I am in awe of his car collection.

Do steam powered cars have a carburetor? I guess I assumed it had burners fed by pressured gasoline?

Here is another link about the story with an explanation of the steam powered cars use of gasoline.

Jay Leno's doctor gives update after he suffered 'serious burns' in gasoline fire
Jay Leno's 'significant' burns caused 'elements of nerve damage' and will require multiple surgeries, his doctor said
By Lauryn Overhultz , Tracy Wright | Fox News
Jay Leno's doctor on Wednesday gave an update on the comedian's health during a press conference, revealing, "His injuries are serious, his condition is good."
Leno suffered "significant burns to his face and hands," as well as his chest, while working underneath a car in Burbank, California, on Saturday, Dr. Peter Grossman told reporters. Since he's been in the hospital, the comedian has undergone one surgery and has another planned later this week. Leno's surgery was a "surgical excision and grafting procedure."
"He did well with that surgery," Grossman updated. "He is in good spirits today."
Initially, Leno suffered "deep second-degree" and possibly third-degree burns in the car fire.
"Burn injuries are progressive and dynamic," he added. "It's hard to predict what the final outcome will be at this stage in the game."
Grossman also expects Leno to make a "full recovery."
"Currently, there’s elements of nerve damage," he told Fox News Digital during the press conference. "I do anticipate him making a full recovery. Whether there will be remnants of this injury is still way too early to tell."
Grossman said that Leno has been kind while undergoing treatment at the burn unit. At one point, he passed out cookies to children and has been helping out with other patients.
"We're very happy to have him as part of our team," the doctor said.
