I have a TED20 which I believe used to run on a fuel called tractor vapour oil. Can anyone out there explain to me what this fuel was and is there a modern day substitute?

T.V.O. was a trade mark of Shell, it stands for tractor vapourising oil, if you got your tractor fuel from Esso it was called Esso Green. When I lived in England we used to make it using the following recipe: 4 gallons of heating oil (kerosene) 1 gallon of petrol 2 pints of diesel These are all English measures and I ran my TED-20 on it with no problems, A friend also ran a Cropmaster and a standard Fordson with no trouble. Its nearest modern equivilant is Jet fuel, but I cant find a pipe long enough to syphon it out of a 747! In N.Z. we just use petrol as it is cheaper than kerosene.
