Diesel Tanks
Reverso Pumps, leading manufacturer of marine oil change systems, pumps, fuel primers and fuel polishing systems, has introduced a Diesel Fuel Service Cart that efficiently removes water and bacterial growth from diesel fuel that can damage pumps and injectors.
The 3 in 1 system polishes diesel fuel in storage tanks, as it is dispensed or after it has been sitting unused in an engine tank for an extended period. The compact, lightweight Cart can be maneuvered and operated by one person. The Cart can run unattended, has maintenance alarms, and clogged filter & water level shutdown features.
The new Diesel Fuel Service Cart and other Reverso products will be on display in booth 747 at the 2010 International Boatbuilders Exhibition & Conference, September 28-30 at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville.

The culprits are said to switch the registration plates on the silver Vauxhall Astra and are thought to have fitted extra tanks to enable them to steal more diesel.
The culprits are said to switch the registration plates on the silver Vauxhall Astra and are thought to have fitted extra tanks to enable them to steal more diesel. "We are keen to hear from anyone with information about who is behind this series of thefts, which have happened at various times of the day and evening at filling stations across the region," said PC Martin Ellerton of Trent Valley Police, which covers Tamworth, Lichfield, Burntwood, Burton and Uttoxeter.
Officers are hoping these images, captured during an incident at a garage near Lichfield, in which the offenders filled up with £112 of diesel before driving off, will help them track down the thieves.
The footage shows the car being filled up by a woman, although officers say most of the offences have been committed by a group of men, who witnesses have described as Asian.

Customs and PSNI officers seized 10,000 litres of laundered green diesel, vehicles, storage tanks and laundering equipment during the operation.
Commenting on the seizure, Mike Connolly of Customs said: "Fuel laundering is unregulated and dangerous. "The by-products from the laundering process can cause severe damage to the environment with taxpayers and local ratepayers having to pay for the clean up and disposal costs.

Possibly, the 60 pounder hitting the engine compartment of many tanks would still be a threat. Assuming you could hit it, which was always the problem with A2G rockets.
As close today as then. People aren't any more concussion resistant today then they were in 1945...and shells haven't increased in explosive lethality, to be distinguished from overall lethality, that much since 1945. Bottom-line: the 1945 15.5 cm shell weighed about 45 Kg., the modern 15.5 cm shell weighs about 45 Kg. Today's explosives are not much more powerful than the 1945 filling, so blast-wise an M-1/M-107 shell of 1945 pretty much equals a modern 15.5 cm shell. Artillery is more lethal today because of increased range, accuracy, and response, plus the addition of bomblets. But HE Common today is just as much a threat as HE Common of WWII, caliber for caliber.
Not so much. Dump flaming gasoline in the engine compartment of the M1/LeClerc/ and the like and the Halon or equivalent fire suppression system will douse the fire. But get a second load of flaming gasoline into the engine compartment and you are going to burn wiring and hoses, just like you would have in 1945. Rubber and wiring is rubber and wiring...the only difference is that the US tanks today, are not gasoline-powered, so they are less flammable. But if the fuel line of a diesel engine is burned thru, AND you expose the diesel to burning gasoline you'll still get a nice fire. They are HARDER to burn, not non-flammable.
As to mines, an M-1 is just as vulnerable to an AT mine of 1945 as was the Tiger. Explode 10-15 Kg. of explosive under the track laying system of a tank, and expect that tank to stop. The difference between then and now is rapidity of deployment (helicopters, aerial bombs, artillery shells, mechanical mine-layers) and sophistication of fuze and warhead. But tank treads haven't gotten, somehow, "tougher". You take 10 Kg. of C-4 or 10 Kg. of Comp. B and blow it off under a tank's treads, you'll stop the tank. Just in 1945 it was harder to get the mine field into place.

Police have released a CCTV image of a car believed to have been used by thieves to steal almost £700 of fuel from petrol stations in Staffordshire.
Officers believe the silver Vauxhall Astra was fitted with extra tanks to enable more diesel to be stolen and that its number plates were regularly switched.
The image shows the car being filled up by a woman – although officers say most of the offences have been committed by a group of men described as Asian.
