Comments:

These engines were very different compared to other farm engines of their time due to the very unusual looking spittoon style water hopper and the fact that the engine is a two stroke low pressure fuel injected engine that could run on multiple fuels such as Gasoline, Kerosene (Coal Oil), Alcohol, Naptha, Distillate and no change in equipment was necessary to change from one fuel to another unless you wanted to run natural or artificial gas then a regulator adapter was available as extra option you could be purchase from the DMCSC factory. A Detroit Motor Car Supply Company advertisement claimed that their engines could start and run on most all fuels and in any climate including 40 degrees below zero temperatures. These two stroke engines are capable of changing the direction of running on the go with out stopping the engine using a timer lever and turning the ignition off & on at the proper moment.
