What is distillate? My guess would have been Kerosene, but since there is a kerosene engine, distillate must be different.

3/5 kerosene 2/5 gas, mixed IE 5 gallons: 3 gallons kerosene 2 gallons gas But now-days kerosene cost as much as gas!! so most people just run straight gas.

distilate is between kerosine and gasoline. standard oil used to call it power fuel, used mostly for low compression put-puts

Distillates were any kind of bi-product of the petroleum industry, kerosene, stove oil, diesel and furnace oil and in days gone by distillate was somewhere close to kerosene and it burned well in distillate tractors set up with shutters, a heat shield and the two tank system, the small tank for gasolene to start up on and the main tank for distillate once it was at "RUN" on the heat guage. Remember there were other brands of tractors that would even run on used motor oil as a distillate. Today's kerosene is refined far more than in the old days but it won't hurt to run it in a distillate tractor , it is still less volatile than gasolene. Mike in Exeter Ontario

I think distillate was in between kerosene and diesel fuel-probably closer to diesel. Distillate engines will run fine on kerosene.

I believe distillate is similar to Kerosene but I think that it is a more general term. SAm in NS
