[SEL] Power Kerosene replacement recipies

[edd payne]

Paul .Why do you need to use power kero.This is not what was used in these
engines.Just plain old ordinary Kero.I run all my oil engines on kero and
sometimes just for fun my other kero engines and have never had any
problems.No special mixes.Most of these engines were being used long before
anyone even thought of power kero.If you get your engines hot enough there
is no trouble with sooting but we run our engines mostly no load and they
take a long time to get hot enough to run properly on kero.
