I think the M1 Abrahams is multi fuel. They can refill the tank (pun?) with anything they come across.
Having read about the Battle of the Bulge, the Germans knew they didn't have enough fuel for their offensive to succeed and depended on capturing Allied stock along the way.

Is there any truth to the rumour that Soviet Cold War aircraft being built with two styles of fuel connectors...their own style and also the NATO refueling connector. For when they capture NATO airfields in Germany, they could have used our bowsers?
