But it is a multi-fuel turbine so it will run on diesel, JP5, kerosene, Jack Daniels, Yukon Jack (actually had a prototype running on YJ back in the '70's), tequila, Everclear, etc.

All the others were 750HP, v12 Continental diesels.
I was thinking of the Abrams. If you are dreaming big, why not go all the way? Do you recall what the estimated city/highway mileage was for any of the main battle tanks or even a Bradley?

If you buy it, you have to feed it.

A tank in a stationary position is just a grid coordinate for air and artilery.
