Distillate was similar to home heating oil. In 1949 nine states imposed gasoline taxes that were not exempt or refunded to the farmer when the fuel was used agricultural purposes. It was therefore much cheaper to use distillate than gasoline even though it was less efficient and less convenient. Octane rating ranged 30 to 35.
At that time kerosene was was primarily a lamp oil and was slightly more expensive than distillate. With an octane rating varying between 0 and 20 it also required a much lower compression ratio so was not used very much.
Optional compression ratios available for the Farmall H were : High-compression gasoline (70 octane) ~ 5.9; Combination gasoline-dist. ~ 4.75; Kerosene ~ 4.5.
