Comparisons between normal railroad fuel and wider range of fuel in eight 1-hr tests in three types of locomotive equipment; test fuels caused in creases in engine deposits, wear, and in contamination of filters and lubricating oil; it appears that fuels of types tested can be used without interfering with locomotive availability if proper precautions are taken.
