I believe the best current example of what distillate was like is mineral spirits,Yep paint thinner. From what the old timers described to me it was lighter than kerosene and less potent than gasoline.To prove that an engine could run on 100% mineral spirits I ran my 318 truck engine on it for about 30 miles on the highway it ran well pulled good but I had to retard the ignition timing lots because the mineral spirits has little octane.I suspect you could run a tractor on it with little change because of the low compression.
