Beats the heck out of having a plastic bag full of mogas inside the crew compartment, as with our early M113 APCs. And when they upgraded to a Diesel engine and a little more safer fuel tank arrangement, guess where the fuel storage went? In a pair of rear-mounted tanks on either side of the crew ramp.
