1. Build 5x5x1 (1 deep) pond and fill with water

2. Place MJ-powered (not EU-powered) Pump above water (near edge, if you like)

3. Place 1x wooden waterproof pipe on Pump

4. Place Steam Engine on shore, leaving at least 1 gap between pump and steam engine

5. Place 1x 'liquiduct' pipe on side of Steam Engine, over the water

6. Connect wooden waterproof pipe from step 3 with 'liquiduct' pipe from step 5 using golden waterproof pipe

// We now have water connection from pump to steam engine

7. To power the pump using the steam engine, place 1x wooden conductive pipe each against pump and steam engine

8. Connect using golden conductive pipe.

// We now have MJ power connection between Steam Engine and Pump

9. Fill steam engine with coal or charcoal

10. If Steam engine is not orientated correctly, use (right-click) a wrench on the Steam Engine. The blue (small) side of the Steam Engine should face the MJ network (i.e. the wooden conductive pipe).

11. Steam engine may need a bucket of water to get going (primed)

// We now have closed power and water loops. However, steam engine will overheat since it's producing too much MJ for the pump

12. Connect more MJ-powered devices to the golden conductive pipe. I used a quarry.
