Talking to some fishermen about Evinrude outboards and that military version able to run on heavy fuels. I really cannot understand why it is not released into the civilian markets all around the world, because even enemies of America could work around other powerheads to use kerosene anyway. In Finland there was a version of an old Saab car adapted to use kerosene after the engine preheated with regular unleaded petrol.

It was not so unusual to run older carburettor-fed 2-stroke engines on pure kerosene in order to flush away carbon deposits, but they couldn't run on pure regular Diesel fuel or biodiesel.
I often use catfish oil to lube a 2-cycle outboard, but I run it on gas. It worked OK in my ATV too.
