2 years ago at the Elnora, Indiana show, I ran a dyno test with both gasoline and kerosene. There has been lots of "talk about which fuel made more power and I figured we would see what the chatter is about. I took my 1935 F-12 kero (distillate) model and ran it on kero for the first test. engine had been running all day so it was plenty warm. we hooked up the dyno (M&W I think)and ran it up to full speed and adjusted the carb for the most HP output. Got 13.5 HP on kero. Then I swicthed it over to the starting tank where the gas was and ran the kero completly out of the lines for about 20 min as kero models have lots of lines and a small cast iron "storage tank" bolted to the top ot the hood, also to let the manifold cool back down after resetting it to the gas or cold setting. Had to fill the tank up again with gas for the test. Did the exact same procedure on gas including adjusting carb for max output and got 13.5 HP once again. I did have to readjust the carb after testing because the kero and gas require different settings. I have seen where some of the hs and Ms that were dual fuel had different heads and other parts as well as HP ratings , but the F-12 I tested had the same HP for both fuels.
