Topic: Tractor vaporising oil


  
  Tractor vaporising oil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tractor vaporising oil is an internal combustion engine fuel produced from paraffin (kerosene) that was commonly used after the Second World War for tractors in the UK and Australia until diesel engines became commonplace.
The post war Ferguson TE20 tractor, a carefully researched and near-ideal tractor for use on British farms was designed around a petrol engine.
Paraffin (kerosene) was commonly used as a domestic heating fuel and was un-taxed.

 Our Fergie tractor
Having been born on a croft and reared on a farm on the Isle of Skye I have fond memories of Fergie Tractors and the pleasant aroma of TVO (tractor vaporising oil) commonly known as paraffin.
The tractor was so cleverly designed that it was a relatively simple job to carry out major repair work literally in the field.
The tractor is in first class condition and is certainly a good example of the breed.

 Tractor Vaporising Oil   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
These tractors had a plentiful sufficiency of power and were light on their feet, which meant that they did not damage the soil.
The Tractor Vaporising Oil on which the new model was to run was of such a low Octane that the modified engine had to have a compression ratio of only 4.5:1 if it were to avoid serious ‘pinking’.
Tractor vaporising oil came into being as an improved kerosene for engine applications by blending into standard grade the high octane aromatics which had been stripped from premium grade burning oil.

 Seanad Éireann - Volume 39 - 04 July, 1951 - Finance Bill, 1951—Second and Subsequent Stages.
For the past two years, certain carboys of tractor vaporising oil have arrived in this country which conform in some respects to the statutory definition of petrol, though I should like to emphasise in that connection that the oil is quite unsuitable for the normal engines in which petrol is used.
Normally, tractor vaporising oil would be chargeable as hydrocarbon oil, other sorts than petrol, but, where it is for use in an agricultural tractor, a rebate of the full duty is given and in effect, therefore, no duty is payable on hydrocarbon oils, other sorts.
Farm tractors are now numbered in thousands in the country and are being used in a variety of ways which we could not visualise at all a few years ago.

 Kerosene - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Kerosene or paraffin oil (British English, not to be confused with the waxy solid also called paraffin) is a colorless flammable hydrocarbon liquid.
Typically, kerosene directly distilled from crude oil requires some treatment, either in a Merox unit or a hydrotreater, to reduce its sulfur content and its corrosiveness.
Kerosene can also be produced by a hydrocracker, which is used to upgrade the parts of crude oil that would otherwise only be good for fuel oil.

 Tvo- Tractor Vaporising Oil- Power Kerosene - Topic Powered by eve community
Because kerosene was not taxed to the same extent as petrol/gasoline is some countries, Kerosene became established as a motor fuel a long time ago.
It was found that Regular Kerosene tended to smoke in lamps, so to improve kerosenes burning features in lamps, a premium grade of kerosene was developed which removed a large proportion of the aromatic content of the kerosene.
TVO came into being by the simple expedient of adding these stripped aromatics back into regular kerosene which upped the octane of TVO/Power Kerosene to 55/70.

John: The oil for the TEF should be a detergent and used to be Agricastrol HD30: the quantity you require is 13 pints.
Using a detergent oil might cause terrible difficulties in an old engine if it had not been fully serviced first and the filters and oil changed soon afterwards; but is very good for it provided a proper, full service has been performed first.
Oil takes a while for the oil to flow back to the stick, so there is a tendency to over fill.

If a Category 1 implement cannot perform it's function behind a Ferguson tractor, it is probably not designed well enough and, therefore, will need to be drawn by a kind of tractor which will leave a huge footprint on your soil for the remainder of the season.
Back when we started with tractors, we assumed a tractor is a tractor and a plough is a plough.
Although it is obvious that a Ferguson TE 20 tractor is not suitable for everybody, it is known that they are still in use as the prime mover on a very large number of smallholdings and some commercial farms.

 Back Room: Home Brew Petrol Additive
For some years I ran an older car on TVO (tractor vaporising oil) which is a parafin fraction but has better volatality.
As has been mentioned, any attempt to eke out petrol with something cheaper is a risky non-starter in my view, unless you have a vintage tractor or a Model T, or as I did once, to use up a mistaken diesel/petrol mix in an old lawnmower.
It has been previously suggested that as carburettor/injector cleaner is really only parafin with 10% oil, it would be perfectly safe to make up your own, and I have seen ATF suggested, perhaps only to give the brew an authentic red colour.

In reply, I would refer the Deputies to my statements in the Dáil on the 22nd January, 1947, and the 26th February, 1947, in connection with questions regarding the delay in the delivery of petrol and kerosene throughout the country.
I am informed by the oil distributing companies that sea-borne cargoes of kerosene were recently delivered at Cork and Sligo and that further cargoes will be delivered to [8] these ports.
I must point out, however, that I have instructed the oil companies that the most serious obligation on them at present is to ensure the speedy distribution of vaporising oil to tractor owners so as to ensure that there will be no avoidable hitch or delay in tillage operations.

Working from Eyre Street, Newbridge the business survived the difficult war years - all oil was pooled and rationed - by hauling turf, transporting workers (Interned German & Allied Airmen) to the bogs as well as selling TVO (Tractor Vaporising Oil) and Kerosene, more commonly known as lamp oil!
The oil depot in Drogheda was purchased in 1952 and the Balbriggan forecourt and garage in 1953.
Products sold were still largely TVO, Kerosene and then Gas Oil, this latter product was used also in diesel road vehicles but there was no dye for many years to differentiate between dutiable and non-dutiable product.

These were the tenuous foundations for the company which today handles millions of litres of oil, distributing fuels and lubricants to a wide variety of industries across the County.
The Second World War curbed trade because oil supplies were commandeered for the war effort and it was a difficult time for the company, as it was for most.
The 1960's saw rapid growth in the use of oil fired central heating and the company soon had a fleet of tankers supplying homes, farm and industry with paraffin and heating oils.

Fuels used include gasoline (aka petrol), Liquified Petroleum Gas, Vapourized Petroleum Gas, Compressed Natural Gas, hydrogen, diesel fuel, JP18 (jet fuel), landfill gas, biodiesel, peanut oil, ethanol, methanol (methyl or wood alcohol), and hydrogen peroxide.
The only limitations are that the fuel must be easily transportable through the fuel system to the combustion chamber, and that the fuel release sufficient energy in the form of heat upon combustion to make use of the engine practical.
