    The only two fuel tractor we ever had was the 10-20 that my father used 
after the war in the late 1940's up to 1950. He only used gasoline in it but 
retained the second tank and valve and used it as a reserve tank since he 
was often farming out away from the home farm. That way if he ran out of gas 
he could switch to the little tank and drive in from the field on it. 
Tractors always run out of fuel as far as possible from the big tank... 
:-)
    We also had a 9N and a TO-20, both of which had a reserve fuel feature 
(built in the sediment bowl valve) and it was very useful. My 8N I stupidly 
sold and the Jubilee also had it. I don't know how long they used that 
feature on Fords and Ferguson's. I don't know if anyone else had a reserve 
fuel system.
