Seen so many of these in central Michigan running old oil and gas wells and pumping stations. You can hear them miles away running. Wonderful sound!

Starts on compressed air. That's the compressor you hear revving up. In the old days they'd have a tank of air compressed from the last time the engine ran, to start it next time. The first cylinder runs on air and after the engine starts the operator switches it from air to fuel.

@Landotter1 This engine is fired up once a year I imagine for this annual show in Temple Texas. My guess is that it has a fair amount of oil left in the cylinders for preservation purposes when not in use. It also seemed to take quite a bit of effort to start so it would not surprise me if it were a little low on compression. It did destroy the shirt I was wearing from my vantage point due to all of the oil it put up in the air and subsequently rained down on me.

@lexpee It is actually run on propane but, the smoke I believe is oil poured in each cylinder for storage purposes since it mainly runs once a year and takes a few minutes to burn off.

The engine is diesel, not propane. The propane tank is for air to start it with and the orange thing to the right is the portable compressor. I saw this engine run many times and knew the owner Monk Ivacek before he died. I can assue you it's diesel.

Same diesel fuel you use in a modern engine. The compression is only barely high enough for it to diesel properly, so it takes a little while of rolling it over to warm up the heads enough for it to actually fire. White smoke is unburned fuel, when the smoke turns black all the built up excess fuel is burning off.
