Default Re: Alternative Fuels in a Model A

I know that a number of old tractors were designed to run on kerosene, but usually had a small gasoline tank for starting. You would start it on gas just to warm it up for a moment, then switch over to kerosene.

I barely remember being able to get kerosene out of the pump, and it was cheaper than gas. The only place I see it anymore is at the hardware store for use in things like kerosene lamps. I wouldn't even have a guess what it costs now.
