For those that use oil pan burners, what are you burning? Or are you using a mixture?
Just got a new loco and it is a pan burner, and I am a rock burner so it is new to me.

I used diesel fuel in mine. Worked great. It was in a Allen 10 wheeler

Sometimes i added a little Kerosene - It seemed to reduce the amount of un-burnt soot going up the stack.
But straight diesel has higher BTU/unit volume.

Re: Pan Burners
The late Cal Tinkham used half kero, half diesel. Kero is/was very expensive, the diesel put out fumes, so it was a compromise.
