IIRC from 30 years ago, the multifuel duces and five tonners had a switch on the dash to change from diesel to mogas, but I could be very wrong.. I was a leg and only rode in them, never drove or maintained one. I do know there was never modifications necessary to change from fuel to fuel, other than perhaps the foresaid switch. I wonder if that was to turn off the electrical for non diesel operations?
I DO know that it is detrimental to put gas in a regular diesel engine, as it WILL run away... had a neighbor whose hired man filled the diesel with gas (had two tractors of the same make/model except on was gas, one diesel.. hired man usually ran the gas one, but that day was running the diesel.. latem tired, and not thinking caused him to fill the near empty tank with gas) the thing started right up and then kept increasing in engine speed until a rod came thought the side of the block... it took almost NO time for it to do so either. That was back in the early 60's.
