The term "all fuel" was used by Deere to promote their tractors back in the day. They were touted as being able to run on anything that would burn.

Gasoline was at least twice as expensive as distillate/power fuel/etc. Gas was used to start the tractors since it was more volatile, then the tractor was switched to the "big tank" (distillate/power fuel/etc.) after warming up to about 170 degrees F. The later full-gasoline engines developed more power.

I can't address the issue of the mixture, but I'll bet someone on here can.
