Austin K9.....is she or isn't she?

.....multifuel?

A passerby said perhaps she is. Any ideas?

No

 

The US used multi fuel but went back to straight diesel. UK vehicles were fuel tolerant as regards octane and the like but truck engines weren't multi fuel, unless you count paraffin or LPG

The Military production K9 used in service is petrol only, but there were some later prototype multifuel K9 built, they had later front end, bonnet/wings, several are in preservation

Something new every day - thanks Nick

 

I wonder what engine was used as the original petrol lump wouldn't be amenable to conversion
