Why do some combustion vehicles only run on a specific type of fuel?

To my knowledge combustion is just burning fuel and if all you need is fire to burn a fuel shouldn’t any type of fuel work in any type of car?

The reason is timing. Engines are designed to operate by having their internal components receive certain forces of certain strengths at certain intervals.

In order to determine WHAT those force impulses will be and how often to have them is going to depend heavily on what fuel you’re trying to use for combustion.
