James Holden introduced oil-burning to some of the locos that GER used, which utilised residues that were a by-product of the company gas works.

What was the calorific value of the residues vs coal vs oil fuel?

How easy to handle were the residues compared to oil fuel, did they require any extra equipment that oil fuel wouldn’t?

Did the burner that was used for the residues differ from burners used for oil fuel?
