I recently placed a 210 cu in cummins 6 cyl turbo diesel into my '47 tonner. When it was on the run stand I filled the 1 qt fuel tank with various 'fuels' just for fun. It ran great on diesel, loved peanut oil, but it ran and started best and idled super smooth with no smoke at all on 100% MMO. Yes, I run a few ounces in my flathead's gas tanks. (And the tonner's)
