Not to mention the fact that you have to start the engine on gasoline and switch over to distillate after the engine is up to operating temp. This means you need a radiator shutter that works and a good eye on the temp gauge. When you shut it down, switch back to gasoline and run the distillate out of the carb or just drain the distillate out of the carb. Distillate carbs had a convenient drain on the side you could operate by hand (or pliers).
Engine oil dilution is also a problem because the distillate doesn't burn as cleanly or completely as gasoline.
Keep the small tank for looks and fill the main tank with gasoline; you will have much better results.
