SUBSTITUTING KEROSENE FOR
GASOLINE

A. w. ID. writes: l have been
looking up the subject of using kero-
sene instead of gasoline in my Ford.
What do you think of the PROPOSE
ton?
Answer: We are not enthusiastic
over it, at the present time. for the
reason that the difference in price
between kerosene and gasoline is not
great enough to compensate for the
bother of using two fuels gasoline
for starting and kerosene for regu-
lar running), and for the fabrication
difficulties which are almost insep-
arabic from the burning Of kerosene.
The use of kerosene in an engine
designed for gasoline fuel is neces-
sarily attended with difficulties
arising from the different compress
sion pressures and cooling provisions
required by the two fuels
