Back in the teens and '20s International Harvester offered shutters on tractors setup to burn kerosene. Extra heat was required at the intake manifold to vaporize the kerosene (which was really "stove oil" not what we think of as kerosene). Later models I believe had some kind of thermostat system to open and close the shutters to stay in the optimal temperature range.
