The none gasoline fuel, wasn't really kerosine, wt was "distillate" a relative that was very cheap compared to gasoline in the 1930s. It was harder to burn so required the hot intake manifold to get it to vaporize. So tractors had to warm up on gasoline to burn the stuff. It was fairly low octane rating also, so the engines for it were low compression.

Distillate is used for everything else these days and there isn't such a commercial product.
