Kerosene and Gas?

Sorry my instruction were lacking. Regardless of the speed of the water I'd think the radiator is a heat exchanger. Has a long talk re this with a very bright fellow. I came to agree to fast is an old adage.
Here ya go Tom. It's in my mail program under notes, see how little I know about computers...

Kerosine, or K1, is a middle distillate and has an end boiling point (~550*F) between gasoline (437*F) and diesel fuel (640*F). Essentially, kerosene is jet fuel (Jet A) and becasue it's nearly all straight-chain paraffin, it has no real octane number and will lower the octane rating of your fuel by roughly the volume amount you add to your tank. I've heard in the 1930s farmers would start their Model A trucks on gasoline and then fill them with kerosene to run the rest of the day (hauling vegetables and fruit from the Hudson Valley to New York City). But with an end point of ~550*F, it's doubtfull it will completely combust leading to oil dilution and washing of the cylinder walls and carbon buildup in the ring areas. Personally, I wouldn't put kerosene in my tank (but then, I don't use MMO either).

Messing with hit and miss engines that can be run on kerosene. The octane level (cetane rating) is around 30 or less, compared to modern octane of 80-90. Now you will have to get the engine hot to run it. You might have to add water, what??? To keep it from detonating, but it is a cleaner fuel with Not as many additives. Not a good solution for a what your asking.

Veger, if your timing is advanced that much, then you are taking a big chance on beating your Babbitt out. We had a engine with low milage, at the repair facility for the 2014 mafca meet last week, and that's exactly what happened.
 
OK I might be close to my problems or should I say for my bothers coupe lol Anyways last month I ran 3 gallons of Vinegar through it for a few days and we got a nice bucket of dirty water. A few days back I did the same thing and drained it last night. This time we got a frothy foam, Dad said looks like stop leak. Now if I am getting this under control with the Temp LoL wonder where the leak was to start with? GoFigure
