OS makes piles of gasoline engines. The people who want to use cheaper fuels use gasoline engines. Glow fuel at $15-40 per gallon depending on locale or $3-7 per gallon for gasoline depending on locale and oil used. Not a complicated idea to grasp the concept of. A metallic rattle to one person may only be a peaked out mixture setting to another. Maybe it's the muffler. It's not uncommon for muffler baffles to be loose, so there's another possibility.
