CNKS, To add to what you say, Another reason for so many dual fuel tractors in those days, and kultimately the end of them also is that in those days, refining methods were much cruder than they are today, and the kerosene and other cumbustable distilates were in much more supply in relation to the amount of gasolene being refined at the same time. This made Kerosene and distilate fuel attractive because it was cheap compared to gasolene, due to the refining process. A gasolene by-product so to speak. When the War came, and gasolene became scarce and rationed, Kerosene and distilates became even more popular because of their availability. After the war, refineries were restructured with newer and effecient technology allowing the refiners to extract more gasolene from a barrel of crude, then Kerosene and distilate production waned as it became less of a by-product. Ultimately, Kerosene became more expensive than gasolene, thus the end of dual fuel tractors.
