IH had 3 engines on the letter series (excluding the MD) gasoline only, kerosene, and distillate. The kerosene and distillate engines can and do run on gasoline, but IH said "the engine is most efficient running on the fuel for which it was designed). As Rusty said, they do not burn as completely as gasoline and leave a lot of crud in the oil, thus the two petcocks on the pan. What we used to call coal oil back in the 40's and 50's was kerosene. Distillate has been explained on this forum, may still be in the archives, perhaps someone will say what refining stage it came off of, but basically it is just a product of the refining process. It is not diesel (may be related, I'm not a petroleum engineer) and unlike kerosene has not been available for decades.
