Add kerosene to your gas to stave off detonation & advance your timing now for more ponys!?!?

Kerosene costs four or five times more per gallon than diesel fuel so why would you want to run kerosene. Years ago I had a old John Deere tractor that you would start on gasoline and get it all warmed up and then you would flip a lever and it would switch it over to kerosene. But you had to get the motor warmed up first. Then when it came to shutting it off you switched it back to gas and ran the kerosene out of the carburetor and then shut it off. That's back when kerosene was cheap.

Actually those old girls did not exactly use kerosene. They used something called "distillate" which as I understand, was in that zone around the kero/ diesel area of the refinery. I've always figured it was a bit lighter than kero. We had a '28 Farmall "Regular" that was designed for that stuff. We always just used gasoline. For a short time Dad had an old Case he resurrected that used the same deal, and My Gramps had a Lindeman Deere crawler that was set up that way
