What exactly is distillate?

Posted by Jay from Ohio on July 20, 2002 at 16:06:59 from (216.201.5.85):

I have recently gained an interest in purchasing a Farmall H...and have been doing some research on this tractor. I was surprised to discover that some of the H's were designed to operate with 2 fuels...gasoline (to start and warm the engine) and distillate.

I was telling the guys at work about the distillate fueled engine in the H...and they all thought I was crazy. What is distillate fuel, why were H's designed to run on it, and are there H's out there that still run on the dual fuel setup?

Thanks so much in advance...I'm trying to regain some credibility amongst the guys at work.
