What will a Model T run on?

More fun with our burnt up and abandoned model t.

Reminds me of a story from my youth. My bro's & I welded up and sold mini-bike frames as kids, so our garage was full of various contraptions, all of which constantly depleted my dad's gas can, much to his consternation.
We paid regular visits to the local auto salvage yards snooping around collecting things. Opened a car trunk once and found a HUGE display bottle of Aramis cologne...like a gallon of the stuff!! We'd heard the stories about antique engines burning anything, so, no gas in Dad's gas can meant in the Aramis went! Who'd a thunk? The mini-bikes ran OK on the stuff!!

The only issue was, a few passes up & down the street and the entire neighborhood smelled like a New Orleans Bordello!! Lord our neighbors just loved us.

I got in so much trouble on a mini bike one time!

Once warmed up, a Model T will run on about any volatile flammable liquid or flammable vapor. I was able to get a John Deere Model E 1 1/2 horse power stationary engine to run on rubbing alcohol, which is 70% isopropyl alcohol and 30% water. A Model T would run reasonably well on Everclear or other high proof liquor, as long as it didn't contain sugar.

They use to run them on kerosene after they were warmed up. Kerosene was cheap in the day but way more than gasoline to day.
