The Su-25 could run on diesel for up to 4 hours. From what I understand it had a toolkit that allowed the pilot to make off field alterations to facilitate this to allow unscheduled front line landings (assuming on roads) to refuel from vehicle diesel and limp home. I don't think many commercial jets or turboprops would have this ability.
