Which you can run in any diesel engine. The 6.5s when they started using them all had a mechanical injection pump. I got one and put it on the 6.5 that I put into my van. It still works good. I don't know if they ever went to the electronic injection pump for those but I heard they used a diffe

Yes as a kid I sat on my grandfather's lap as he drove his 1939 John Deere model B. Once he got it going he pulled the lever to switch it over from gas to kerosene. I used to love to see the cloud of black smoke as kero kicked in. Dwight Giles Jr. Wickford RI On May 2, 2018 9:36 PM, "Curley Mc

Back in the day, before production Wankel engines, we were told that a wankel could run on Benzin, Diesel or many other fuels. It proved to be not so practical, and fuels not interchangeable. The US gooberment DID have trucks that were multifuel. The early IH Diesel started on Gasoline and

Interesting. I wonder how this is different than propane injection on a diesel engine not much difference in principle, the propane starts burning at a different rate than the diesel, so the "combined flame path" achieves more complete combustion of the diesel charge, thus extracting more energ
