A similar system was often used on tractors years ago. You started off on petrol , and then switched to TVO, tractor vapourising oil. I don't think you get it now, but it was like a paraffin (kerosene)

tvo not easy to come by these days but can be bought from certain fuel suppliers and I think its pretty expensive too, not sure what the difference is between tvo and paraffin but I do know some tractors had petrol/tvo and petrol/paraffin models, I think tvo is slightly heavier?

Interesting, I haven't seen it for years. I havent been looking though, I don't have that sort of tractor, and those that I do know that have them just run them on petrol, I think.
