It"s similar to kerosene and is a byproduct of petroleum. The engine needed to get really hot to burn/vaporize distillate so the tractor was started on gas then switched to distillate then back to gas before the engine was shut off so that gas was back in the lines for when you needed to start it again cold. The shutters were used on kero/distillate tractors to help with the warming process, those gas tanks were small so you wanted that engine hot quickly so you could switch over, the whole point of the distillate engine was to save money on gas. It was just cheaper during the wwII rationing days and was an option I believe through the Farmall 450. ~Anthony
