55 years ago my uncle had a McCormick farm tractor that started on gasoline 
then switched over to kerosene to run.  My uncle would only run the engine for 
less than 10 second on gasoline before switching to the kerosene.  The gasoline 
tank held about a quart and the kerosene tank held about 8 gallons.  Ignition 
was spark plugs driven by a magneto.  My uncle would plow all day on eight 
gallons of kerosene.

...a spark-ignited engine that burns JP-8.   It's not 
that uncommon, as there are at least 5 manufacturers that I know of doing 
the same thing.
