It is (was) a low cost tractor fuel, like Kerosene. Also known as Vaporising Oil-V.O. in the U.K. (or Tractor vaporising oil- TVO) and Power Kerosene in Australia/ New Zealand My Farmall 'H' is a V.O. or Distillate tractor, I just use JET A1 (Avtur) Our supplies of V.O. stopped in about 1976/7 ish. The last V.O tractors were sold in the UK in the mid 1950's. The Fordson Major and David Brown Cropmaster Diesel killed those old spark ignition engines off in the UK. If you have a Distillate tractor and can't get JET A1. Mix 4 gallons Kerosene, 1 gallon petrol and add a pint of Diesel, it is somewhere near right and the tractor will go on it o.k. You must run the tractor at just below boiling point and keep the manifold shield in place. Do not stop the engine while running on it, turn back to petrol, or just shut the fuel off or it will be a sod to start again. The tractor will not perform right on straight Kero, and they tend to run hot on straight petrol.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
