IIRC, they actually do use jet fuel sometimes. Simply for ease of logistics. Not sure about this though.HellDuke wrote:Hm.. I don't think that it would be in C because most metals and metal aloys can actualy melt at that temperature. I searched a bit and found that it generates 1000F and the anti air wouldn't pose much of a threat to it...
Side note: the abrams uses a gas turbine engine and diesel fuel, but it CAN use gasoline and jet fuel. It would be insane to use jet fule though, do you imagine the cost of it??? All tanks use diesel because otherwise it would be difficult to get anywhere, you couldn't realy find that sorts of fuel in your ordinary gas station.
