I hate to date myself, but I served in the days of the M60A1 and T-62. We crawled all over a T-62 the Israelis had captured and it was a real piece of crap. No quick disconnects, so it would have taken hours to pull a power pack. Some genius came up with a great space utilization idea for the dead space in the ammo storage honeycomb next to the driver - they made it into a fuel tank.
