Well, you could get KFC to be the principal supplier of the oil, they could paste their logo on the tender, and have photo ops with the Colonel at the throttle...and collect sponsorship dollars.

EDIT - I meant this tongue-in-cheek, BTW. Nothing makes me cringe more than seeing something historic succumb to advertising dollars. I think 493 can be made to look classy as an oil-burner without ruining too much history - but using it as some kind of promo (even painting it green) rubs me the wrong way.
