What kind of fuel did the Model T use?

Fuel choices and fuel economy The T engine was built as a gasoline engine. While not engineered specifically for multifuel ability, its simple, robust design allowed it to successfully run on a variety of combustible fuels including benzene, ethanol, or, with various available after-market attachments, kerosene.

How much did a Model T cost at its cheapest in 1927?

Will a 2 stroke run on kerosene?

Starting out with a two-stroke lawnmower engine, compression is tested pre-kerosene, and the engine shutoff switch is removed, so the engine can be run against the engine brake to create load for testing. Surprisingly there isn’t much noticeable difference after being run on straight K-1 kerosene.

Why can’t cars run on kerosene?

Thermal cracking was developed to produce more gasoline from crude oil, enabling the automobile industry to keep expanding. The reason is diesel can burn after compression or alone. This feature is absent in the case of kerosene. So, this is the best possible reason of not using kerosene as a fuel.
