petroleum

best people,

I have a question about the fuels that can be hid in a deuce and a half.
here in the Netherlands they sell petroleum. this is certainly € 0.50 per liter cheaper than diesel.
my question is can I do it in my deuce and a half PETROLEUM??????

The language or your post is confusing.

What do you mean by hid? Do you mean burned as a fuel?

Petrolum is a broad term in English...do you mean kerosene or fuel oil?

We need more info to help with your question.

Could you be using the word Petroleum in place of the UK Petrol? In which case that would be the US Gasoline.

I will burned petroleum in my truck. I'm not sure I can drive it petroleum!!
In the broader sense is a synonym for petroleum crude oil or petroleum.

I can't drive kerosine in a deuce and a half????

Kerosene in very close to JP-8, which is approved for a multi-fuel deuce. If the FDC is bypassed the engine may not produce as much power, but it should run.

To run petroleum/oil, make sure your FDC is hooked up and not bypassed. Do not run straight petrol/gasoline in your truck, but you can add gasoline to petroleum oil to thin it enough to run in your truck.

 

[reom35a2fluiter]

you still have fuel to do with octane in your fuel????
so for me the strength I need kerosene JP-8??

 

[silverstate55]

Try it and see how it works. Try 80% petroleum and 20% kerosene JP-8 to start with, you can fiddle with different ratios from there.

 

[reom35a2fluiter]

but in kerosene and petroleum is the oil less than for diesel right????
how can i be sure I here in the netherlands JP-8 jet fuel can tank???
or is the kerosene the same as in your country???

 

[silverstate55]

Just make sure there is more oil/petroleum than kerosene, petrol/gasoline, JP-8 in your fuel mix.

 

[reom35a2fluiter]

can you drive with a deuce and a half on hydraulic oil.
than a 50/50 mix diesel with hydraulic oil?????

the thicker the fuel the better the miles per gallon. i guess it does not need as much with the compensator to get the same effect from oil as from gasoline. i ran out of fuel and put 1/2 a gallon of new engine oil and a small can of Sea Foam engine cleaner in the tank and drove to a station and filled up.

i have run on 1/2 gasoiline and 1/2 diesel and the MPG dropped.

i have run on straight diesel and the MPG was OK.

i have run on used motor oil and the milage was +50% over diesel.

the research i did when i got my frist truck said if you are running straight gasoline add 1 quart of engine oil for every 15 gallons of gasoline, so you do not dry out your seals. i have not got brave enough to try straight gasoline. if i did i would add at least 1 quart for every 5 gallons. there is only about 1 or 2 months that i may have to thin out thick fuel in the winter here. i have 20 gallons of emergency kerosene that is 2 years old and i am about to replace it before hurricane season. what i have will be in one of my deuces to empty the can.

that is what i have done or will do. i may be wrong so do more research. heck i put 1 and 1/2 gallons of cutrunella oil in my fuel tank to see if it would smell better and keep mosiquitas away. but with 45 gallons of diesel in the tank it just smelled like diesel.
