- Petrol-paraffin_engine abstract "A petrol-paraffin engine (aka gasoline-kerosene engine in North America) is an old-fashioned type of dual-fuel internal combustion engine with spark-ignition, designed to start on petrol (gasoline) and then to switch to run on paraffin (kerosene) once the engine is warm.The advantages of the petrol-paraffin engine are that (compared to petrol):(i) paraffin can be cheaper and/or more readily available ; (ii) being less flammable, paraffin is safer to store; (iii) being less volatile, paraffin is less likely to go "stale" in the tank. Some of these advantages have become illusory since paraffin, once widely available as a cheap fuel, has become rarer and more expensive, particularly in developed countries. Also, while some older vessels still use marine petrol-paraffin engines, most inboard marine engines now tend to be diesels.[citation needed]A petrol-paraffin engine differs from a single-fuel petrol engine in that two independent fuel tanks containing petrol and paraffin (respectively) are required, but both fuels may be supplied through the same carburreter(s) or fuel-injection system. Paraffin is less volatile than petrol, and will not normally ignite at ambient temperatures, so the petrol-paraffin engine is started using petrol, and only when the engine has attained a sufficient operating temperature will the engine be switched to paraffin. This switching can be done manually or automatically. The engine may have a provision to warm the paraffin in the fuel tank, using a heat exchanger.[citation needed]".
