Military engines some were called multi fuel but I don't know if that also included gasoline. I don't know anything about them other then the name
Quite a common setup in the 40s and 50s. Kerosene or "distillate" was a popular and low cost fuel for farm tractors. Seems to me it required a different carburetor and manifold to burn the distillate.
