being a old fart I've worked on many things one of the oddest ones was the military jeeps of the 60's it was a diesel/gas high breed what they called a muti -fueled engine. it was a low compression double overhead cam diesel engine . with a carb, dist, spark plugs and a fuel injection pump .you cut the diesel fuel off turn the gas on fill the carb then start, after engine warms up to 180 you turn gas off turn diesel on pull the throttle cable for the carb wide open then start it now its diesel powered. you could run it on either fuel, NOW TRY STARTING THIS WHEN THE BULLITS ARE FLYING (GOOD LUCK)the compression was 10 to 1

those multi fuel engines had quite the valve arrangement (one intake 2 exhaust), they warmed up on gasoline, then when you pull the handle they would open the carburator, and shut off the small exhaust valves used to bleed off compression, compression was then bumped from 10:1 to 18:1 and it then ran off diesel or similar fuels

dozers of the late 40's had this setup, insured that they would always fire up
