steam trap Overture

[nykysle]

I have gone through the ventilator shaft, fallen into the room, picked up the gasolene container and I can't get past the steam.
The walkthroughs a only say "watch out for the steam".
I have tried running through, crouching through, even tried to block with a pallet, but I can't get past the steam.

I feel certain that you are in the storage area. Use those wooden pieces to make the path to the ventilation hole, where you came into the room. Just put the wooden piece to lean against the metal shelf.

Ahhh! Great. That idea did cross my mind but I dismissed it as not probable. I should always play my hunches.

Thanks.
