The RAF Puma (Turmo engines) had alt fuels that included forms of diesel and petrol but there were time limitations on use, 25 hours total during the life of the engine for petrol comes to mind. Also the PTIT / ITT may be considerably higher and of course the fuel may be more volatile so the were restrictions on OAT and usage. Believe they used petrol once during earthquake relief ops in mexico.
