Amazing Facts About M1 Abrams Tank

Any Fuel Used

M1 Abrams- soldiers efuel an M1 Abrams tank during a simulated jump forward area refueling point (FARP)

One of the lesser-known facts about M1 Abrams is that they are multifuel-capable, making it possible to be powered by kerosene, diesel, and any grade of motor gasoline or jet fuel. We know the Army refuels tanks at bases or fuel stops, but could you imagine someone pulling up at a gas station driving one of these? With over 500 gallons, how long would that take, haha? When refueled with the military equipment, a single tank takes about 10 minutes, and a platoon of four tanks takes 30 minutes.
