Their engines were basicly diesels and I never herd of any othe fuel being used except in tests. I don't remember what other fuels could be used other than kerosene and gasolene. Since they were not optimized for any specif ic fuel they were said to run poorly on all of them but diesel was the best. Their replacements were straight diesels. <br /> <br />DScmidt's correct. The Army tried "multifuel" engines on 2 1/2 ton trucks. The fuel used most often on those was diesel fuel. In theory, you can also run an M1 Abrams tank or an armored personnel carrier on straight gasoline, but it's definitely NOT recommended. <br /> <br />Erik
