I am not sure about this, but I do recal something about the patent of the
diesel engine beeing German,
and therefore the allies had to use gas. Seems stupid in a war.
Can anyone tell anymore abouth this?

Of course the transport was a important issue. One sort of fuel means one
fueltanker.
This is the policy for most of the armys today, but spessially for the US.
Take a windshieldfram and it will fit more than one type of vehcile and
more than one years production.
Of course the question is (during WW II) would it mean less transport if
they used both type of fuel, since the diesel has a lower consumption (A
fuelbowser or two may be free for something else)

Just some 'brainstorming' before I travel away to buld another oilplattform
for the Northsea.
