Jose,

The "all fuel" designation indicates that the tractor will burn lower-grade, less volatile fuels. Back in the 1920s and '30s, most tractors were like this, and a fuel called "distillate" was the fuel of choice for them. Distillate is something like kerosene, and was also called "power fuel". I think it is a little lighter and ignites better than diesel, but I've never put diesel in my '41 B.

The tractors started on gasoline, which ignites better (at 20 cents per gallon) and ran on the distillate (at 10 cents or so per gallon). As ff316 said, the temperature does have to be higher to get good ignition with the distillate. The radiator shutters did indeed help warm up the engine on the gasoline before switching to distillate. Also, as ff316 said, the power was less with the heavier fuel, lower compression, etc.

I hope I've helped and not further confused you.

Stan

Are you asking how the engine burns the fuel, or how to operate it? The fuel works just like gasoline only it needs a much hotter temperature to burn. Therefore, all fuel tractors are equipped with radiator shutters that can be closed to keep more heat in the engine. There are other differences also, like lower compression, different manifolds, etc... I don't know much about them but I hope this helps. Maybe one of the resident experts can fill you in a little more. Fireman
