Hi
In the old day's there was plenty petrol engines that had a double caburator , to switch between petrol and the heavier petrolium ( a ligther sort of Diesel fuel ) . For an old fasion 4 stroke slow running marine petrol engine, this also work best, if the fuel are pre-heated, usealy by the petrolium tube turned around the exhoust pipe , but also the air intake running thru the exchoust pipe, help a lot pre-heating the more heavy fuel, when a switch turn the gasolin chamber of the caburator to standby, and the fuel was taken from the opposite chamber with petrolium. ------- the problems was the same ; the engine had to be started with petrol on, but warm it ran well enough on the cheaper petrolium, and the double caburator, made it so that only a switch needed to instantly turn off the petrolium side so the engine would run more safe , say when entering a harbour. |
