"drip gas" in a multifuel engine

[odgreen]

I am new to this site and wanting to ask a question. Does anyone know if "drip gas" can be burned in a multi fuel engine. This is oilwell condensate, also sometimes called white gas. People have burned it in conventional gasolene engines, with varying sucess. It will usually cause smoking, hard starting, and "dieseling" in a petrol engine. I guess it can be thought of as an unrefined light petroleum product. I hope someone on here has heard of it and can give me some advice. Thanks in advance.

I have no idea but cranetruck should know he'll be around some time soon.

mix it with diesel atleast 50/50 should be fine

I remember "white gas" as a kid. My dad bought it at Chevron Stations and we burned it in our camp stoves and lanterns. I was told later in life that it was an unleaded fuel. But that doesn't help you any does it.
Over and out.

Here I am RDD, but don't know anything about drip gas. Keep in mind that if you use gasoline, add a lubricant to the fuel (oil, biodiesel etc) to protect the injection pump.

Drip gas is very common here in east texas. It has a VERY LOW octane rating. If you have a gas motor with low compression About 7 to 1 you can use it. It's a very dry fuel and will wash oil off of engine parts. It makes a pretty good solivent. But it's too dangerous to be safe. I've ran regular gasoline through mine and it ran like crap. I strongly sudjest you don't run drip, with out mixing oil and diesel with it. Although the injector pump is made to handle kerosene i think drip would cause rapid wear and premature failure. Of you can get it for free i can understand cutting your fuel costs but running too much of it is asking for problems.

O well it was worth a try.

I appreciate the replies, and agree that it makes a decent solvent. It is very common here in western Oklahoma also, and a well on my own place produces it. Washing oil off engine parts would explain why the engine on my little Honda dirt bike suddenly seized up one day while running about 50 mph. I also ran it in an old car years ago, but it would ping badly, and diesel when shut off. So, I believe I will give up on trying it in my duece even though I can get the stuff for nothing.

drip gas

i mentioned this to norman at ant. val. truck parts... he said "drip gas" should not be used... and that the multi-fuel engine will not react well to it... at the cost of parts, time and a rebuild, it's probably best to stick with your trucks preferred flavor...."diesel"....just my take... play it safe.. mendo..

That's a bummer that you can't mix it with something like old motor oil and run it through that old beast.
