If you pick something with indirect injection such as a Peugeot 106 with the 1.5D engine, you could try vegetable oils as alternate fuel too

I'm really tempted with the Dasher. The recess in the lift-back is already filled with camo duct tape, and step one would be a second set of wheels and tires. 15s with UTV mudders.

Then for show season, I could remove the hatch and put a 55 gallon drum in the back. Instead of fuel it could have a barbeque:
