Back in the 40's and early 50's the farm tractors my Dad had would be
started on Gasoline, after the engine was warm, would switch to Kerosene for
doing work, and then switch back to Gasoline to refill the carb bowl before
shut-down.

Charlie,
Back before M33 had Jet A (Pre 1980's), I witnessed
Pilots having av gas
pumped in the tanks of mostly Lear Jets that stopped
in, mixing the fuel.
This I understand could be done up to a maximum
ratio of Av Gas to Jet A. I
am curious if the rotary could run on a
mixture of Heavy fuel and Av gas or
Mo gas? What would be the
maximum ratio that could be burnt without
suffering any
derogation?
Just another of those off the wall thoughts

Bob,
In Japan where kerosene was cheap, but gasoline was expensive they
used to mix fuels since the rotary would run on almost anything.
