this topic comes up quite often. actually kerosene is a different fuel, but fairly similar. distillate, or tractor fuel as it was also called is no longer available.
to sum up what i've gleaned from reading these forums: distillate was a by-product of the method crude oil was made into fuels (as a by-product it was fairly cheap compared to gasoline). a new, improved (faster, cheaper, etc.) method was developed during ww2, so it was quickly adopted...but it also eliminated the by-products that were used for distillate. i would say that after about 1950 none was available. if you want to experiment and see how it would run on distillate, you could try kerosene, or a concoction of a bunch of slightly flammable stuff (some people have posted their recipies before)

today you're best running gasoline.
