Default Re: Merkava.
If you had bothered to read that very disorganised site I posted you would have known thet the fuel in a Merk is stored between the hull plates. In other words both sides of the hull are the fuel tank. This arrangement also reduces the effect of HEAT rounds. The diesel fuel helps extingish the jet produced by an exploding HEAT round. It also eliminates the need for traditional fuel tanks ans saves more space in the vehicle. It is a self sealing system.
