I'm having a vague, unsubstantiated memory of gasoline tractor engines 
running on kerosene by heating the fuel prior to induction in order to 
get it to vaporize.  May not have been kerosene, but seems like it was a 
heavier-than-gasoline fraction. 

Perhaps one of our more tractor-conversant listmembers can corroborate 
or clarify my recollection.  Or, of course, tell me I've been breathing 
too many of the fumes at work, depending on my accuracy.
