[AJD] 1st Tractor

[Bruce Mahr]

Dean: The all fuel did run less horsepower on distillate, due to the 
thickness and impurities( lack of refining) of the heavier fuel. Kerosene 
would definitely burn hotter and cleaner and with more power than 
distillate, but I don't know whether it would have more power than gas in an 
all fuel engine, because the compression ratio wouldn't be there for maximum 
burning efficiency.
my opinion!
