Mine specifies on its label "Gasoline or Kerosene." "Distillate" 
certainly covers a lot of ground, but generally meant heavier 
distillates than kerosene, like "Gas Oil" or what we now call Diesel 
fuel. I've tried running my M on Diesel. Doesn't work for crap.

There were a number of carbureted engines designed to run on heavy 
distillates, but they commonly employed additional measures to handle 
them, like exhaust-heated intake air. Engines designed for the heavier 
distillates were often generically termed "Oil Engines," of which the 
Diesels are a subclass.
