Some interesting stuff turning up here.
My only question is if the Sherman was just petrol, how come so many veteran accounts talk about the relief of replacing petrol engines with diesels? Maybe it was more common in British units?
Perhaps an email to the tank museum at Bovington will answer it?
Incidentally, I presume the majority of German tanks were diesel? If this was the case, and US Shermans were petrol, why were so many German units racing to reach fuel depots in the Ardennes in 1944?
