The distillate VS gas controversy rears its ugly head once again! Ok I will put some of it to rest as far as it applys to an F-12. A few years ago at a show in Elnora, IN I did a gas vs kero test on a dyno. I ran my F-12 on kero that weekend. I used the starting tank to do the gas test. Anyway the test gave the EXACT same horsepower on gas and on kero, but on the kero test I did have to lean the carb out so it would have gotten better hours per gallon rating on kerosene. I posted how I did the test on here so you can go to the archives and look it up. The only reason it was used years ago was because of the price. in the 30s gas was about 10-20 cents and distillate was about 2-5 cents a gallon and kero was about 5-8 cents. Distillate was close to the same as kerosene, but it was not as refined. Kero was more refined because people used it for lighting houses and it needed to be clean, so it wouldn't fume up the house as bad. I do know of a 10-20 that was ran on straight crude oil right out of the well in Oklahoma.
