The model D, as far as I know, had a valve which allowed water from the cooling system to be mixed with the fuel. The fuel used was gasoline from a 1.5 gal tank for starting and "distillate" fuel from a 23.5 gal tank for working. The radiator had a capacity of 56 quarts in order to have enough for cooling and also to mix with the fuel. In Nebraska tractor test #350 in January of 1940 a Model D used 4.764 gallons of fuel and 3.238 gallons of water per hour in the maximum power test although some of the water was lost in the cooling process as at times the cooling medium (water) was 210 degrees F. As for distillate fuel, the fuel used in the test had an octane rating of 38. Around here, farmers used #2 fuel oil in their John Deere tractors.
