The fuel to run the engine was hard to come by. Parts for repair were hard to get.

Europeans first experimented with internal combustion engines in the 1880s to 1890s, but nobody really caught on until the early 1900s.
The development of the internal combustion engine
The first device that could be called a prototype of the internal combustion engine was invented in the fifth century, in the form of Roman machines used in sawmills. In the seventeenth century, this idea was expanded upon with the addition of gunpowder as a power source. Internal combustion engine development accelerated in the late 19th century, and they were widespread by the 1900s.
The invention of the internal combustion engine was the primary reason. Fuel was cheap and when it wasn't working you didn't have to feed it.
There were gasoline and diesel engines, as today, but also some early steam engines (external combustion), notably the Stanley Steamer (1902-1924).
Oil was not considered valuable until the early 1900s primarily because it was seen as a nuisance rather than a resource. Early uses were limited to lubricating machinery, and its potential as a fuel source was largely unrecognized. The invention of the internal combustion engine and the growth of the automobile industry catalyzed demand for oil, transforming it into a crucial energy source. By the early 20th century, advancements in extraction and refining technology further highlighted its value, leading to the establishment of a global oil economy.
About 2600. But nobody really knows when Ibrahim lived. The view that he lived in the 1700s BCE was recently popular, but some theologians support the view that it was the 1900s.
no i think the 2oth century is the 1900s?
