The M1 tank will burn diesel, kerosene, JP 4 and 6 or gas. It burns almost as much at idle as it does at WOT. Our first field exercise with the M1's the BN supply officer didn't take that into account. He thought that we would burn about the same amount of fuel as with the M60's. I don't know if he wasn't told or just forgot. 14 days into a 30 day exercise we ran out of fuel. The local Army airfield had a bunch of JP4 that was contaminated to the point it couldn't be used in aircraft but could be burned in the tanks. Was a win, win for the Army. instead of paying to have the fuel shipped out, filtered and returned or disposing it as hazardous waste we burn it in our tanks. The only down side was with JP or gas you can't use the smoke generator. It makes smoke by spraying raw fuel into the exhaust duct. Darn tank looks like a blow torch when you hit the smoke generator with JP in the fuel cells.
