Sherman tank starts engine

[MrTubbymarshall]

did the sherman use several engine variants throughout its service life?

[ThePanzerWarMachine]

@MrTubbymarshall

yes, quit allot:

The Standerd engine for the M4/A1 was the radial engine used in WW2 Bombers, drawback from that engine is that it is extremly loud and burns on 4 gallons of Gas every mile. The Most Comon engine was the Ford GAA engine wich was the most used and prevert engine. The M4a4 uses the Chrysler Multi bank engine wis is 4 Truck Engines combined. Drawback is that the A4 needed to be longer, and it is 4 tons heavier. the M4a5 is Diesel.

@ThePanzerWarMachine thank you for your very informative reply. 4 gallons a mile? bloody hell, that needs some fuel supply.

@MrTubbymarshall

Yeah, Gas was Dirt Cheap. but a tank and most of any other millitary vehicles, are a Logisticial Nightmares. Back in 1969 a Gallon of Gas Just costed $.0.23 cent and a Burger $0.10 ! those were the days.
