Oil & Fuel Diesel vs. K-1 kero in TC34DA

[Dave1953]

The last time I bought off road diesel it was only .10 cheaper than on road. I can buy K-1 kero for 4.45 gal. I had a good friend who is now deceased that bought an Isuzu pickup when they first came out with a diesel motor in it and he ran nothing but K-1 kero in it for all the years he had it with no problems. Anybody out there ever run kero in their tractor?

The fuel injection pump for your tractor lists for over $850. Kerosene has little lubricity as compared even to ULSD. How much per gallon do you want to "save"? What does your op manual say about fuel? You can do as you please, but anyone who encourages you won't be there to help with the tuition.

Point well taken.....Dave
