    Silly one, and but do tanks run on diesel?

    Every other heavy machine I can think of typically uses diesel for their engines: tractors, lorries, boats.

    Also diesel is less flammable then petrol or hydrogen in the event of a spill of leak…

      The Abrams uses jet fuel mainly. But most tanks are diesel.

        The Abrams can run on just about anything liquid and flammable. It’s not gonna be happy about it, but it’ll go.

        I think it was designed by pakleds…

          Yup, that’s why I put “mainly”

            Wasn’t trying to call you out for being wrong or only partially correct, just think it’s neat all the stuff they considered when designing and testing it.

              Right, no worries. I was just being lazy and didn’t wanna explain. You did and did it in less words than I would’ve needed.
