Hmmm.... is that why they recommend that you put some motor oil into the
gasoline if you intend to run a multifuel (or diesel) engine on gasoline?
I remember that the Army "deuce-and-a-half" 2 1/2 ton 6x6 truck had a
multifuel engine. Someone said that it has a throttle plate, but I never
actually got into one of them.
