My first vehicle was a Model T Ford that had two tanks. One small tank
held gasoline and the big tank took kerosene. You started up on
gasoline and warmed up the engine, then switched over to kerosene for
driving. Gasoline was considered pretty expensive back then, 13
cents/gal. Kerosene was 6 cents.
Anyone else reckymember those days?

The sawmill where I worked as a teenager had two Massey Harris
tractors which had small tanks for gasoline and water and a larger
tank for kerosene. The son of the owner and myself worked on one of
them till we got it running on gasoline. we had lots of fun with it
till the owner came home and demanded his turn driving. He hauled a
load of slabs away back in the yard and ran out of gas - gave us the
devil for not putting enough gas in it. We never did try to run it on
kerosene.
