What fuel does it run on?

The reason I ask is that I believe it has a Wankel engine, which are very difficult to design to run on heavy oil fuels (diesel, AVTUR, JET etc).

So if it can't burn standard NATO fuel, then does it have to have its own fuel logistics chain?

If it is a Wankel engine burning diesel, then it won't have a very long life and will not be very efficient.
