Remembering that M35 military truck with the Continental/Hercules/White LDT 465 1D multifuel engine, able to operate not just on regular Diesel but even on gasoline, it didn't have any overly-expensive sensor. Sometimes it seems like the engineers are just looking for an excuse to not release a similar technology for the civilian market in order to avoid getting in trouble with the oil sheikhs.
