During the Korean war the army, for some reason, had a large quantity
of anhydrous ammonia so they got a motorpool sergeant to build an ammonia engine.
They gave him a single cylinder air cooled engine to start with and he had it
running nicely on ammonia in very short time.
There was quite a write up about it in Popular Science or some similar magazine
at the time but as far as I know, nothing more was done with it.
Here's a website of a company working on ammonia fueled engines today, they do
give credit to the army's engine.

Re: An excellent Jeep
I was to vacuum pump out an oil refiner hazardous waste tank that
contained what the ticket said was five percent ammonia in water. while
walking by my pump I accidentally breathed in a partial breath, which
felt like someone hit me over the head with a sledge hammer, I thought I
was dead, as I ran convulsing.

Your lucky. Ammonia, NH3 is a no -------- dangerous gas.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia
It's a great refrigerant though, but you can't use copper pipes to
handle it.
Ammonia is also useful as fertilizer and can be introduced directly
into the irrigation pipes.
Odd thing.. Ammonia is a outgassing product of ye old ciggy.

Know what you mean, I got a whiff of anhydrous ammonia years back,
two hours later I couldn't get enough breath to climb a flight of
stairs!
Probably kids today would be sniffing it if they knew..... :-(
