TED20 - Specifications for running under Vapourisi

1) Does the tractor have more/less power than compared with high octane lead fuels?
2) Is the consumption better than petrol ?
2) Where do I buy vaporising oil ?
3) Is it worth running in vapourising oil mode ?

Many thanks,
Leslie

2) About the same - maybe slightly better as paraffin has a higher calorific value than petrol I think and I have found I can throttle back a touch on TVO

3) You can buy it from fuel mixing agents, or make it yourself - roughly speaking it is paraffin (or 28 second kerosene), plus a dash of petrol to aid spark ignition, plus a dollop of two stroke oil for upper cylinder lubrication eg. 3 gallons paraffin, 1/2 gallon of petrol, 250ml oil - others have other recipes - look on www.fofh.co.uk for more recipes.

4) Yes, unless you have a deep pocket. Running on TVO it is as cheap to run as a TEF.

HTH

Also I investigated the energy content in the fuels and found that power kerosene is about 37.5 MJ/l and petrol about 34.2 MJ/l. That means that the energy content is about 8.8% more powerful than the normal petrol.

In short 30% cheaper and about 8.8% more powerful.

However, I wonder if the TED engine runs more efficiently on the power kerosene than on petrol ?

Do you know ?

Be happy running on paraffin.
