Do the camera right & up vectors match the image aspect ratio (16:9)? 
If I force-view the image at the camera default ratio, which is 4:3, the 
boiler cross section looks circular.

If your camera block lacks these two vectors, you can fix the distortion 
by adding
   right 16/9 * x
to your camera block.
