The Chieftain's (the tank, not the YouTube guy) L60 engine was famously designed as a multi-fuel powerplant - and was also famously underpowered and a pig to maintain.

well it needs to be processed into liquor first haha. but yes you can run an abrams on cooking oil to. the early Abram engine guzzled fuel like a madman but it seems like they have fixed it nowadays. of course fuel efficiency probably tanks a bit while running it on these unusual fuels. by muliti fuel you mean diesel and petroleum? not anything that makes a bang haha
