WWII tanks? I know the turbine in like the Abrams can run on a wide variety of fuels, but weren't WWII era tanks running old diesels? They could probably be fitted to run other fuels but I don't think it'd be nearly as easy as you seem to think.

Which wow, Googling shows apparently a lot were using gasoline engines.

Er, guess we're not just talking about WWII tanks.
It's just lack of ingenuity. Running on alcohol is pretty easy. Of course it drastically reduces their life span but, they're built like tanks. :D

Eastern Europe has quite a few of these graveyards.
