Just a quick question to find out if it is possible to convert a gas 1954 Super A to Kerosene or other low octane fuels.
Thanks in Advance

Anything is possible.

You will need to change the manifold to a duel fuel manifold, install a starting fuel tank and shut off valve, provide a T in the fuel line to the carburator. Carburator should work. You may have to install different pistons with a lower compression ratio some were around 4.5 or 5 to 1.

(1) The cost of kerosene or diesel fuel is as high as regular gas. (2)You will lose horsepower on kerosene.

My opinion. You will gain nothing by going to a duel fuel system.

Thanks for the reply Gene, I am not looking at this project as a money saver, I am looking more at being less dependent on one type of fuel. Plus I have two 250 gallon tanks, one I hope to use for Kerosene. If you have more detailed plans, or know where I might find them, please let me know.
