According to a veteran Australian tanker in Vietnam, the Centurion's external fuel tank had a 100 gallon capacity.
The Vietnam War was the last major war fought by the Centurion medium tank under British or Australian colors (flags).
The M1 Abrams tank has a top off road speed of 30 mph, and a top road speed of 42 mph.
988 miles per hour
20 to 25 mph seemed to be the top speed for an Army M48A3 Patton tank. The new M551 Sheridan tank seemed to roll at about 30+ mph. The Sheridan entered the US Army inventory in about 1968 and was fielded immediately in Vietnam in January 1969. Both diesel engines; but the Patton was constructed of ALL STEEL; while the Sheridan's hull was ALL ALUMINUM (but the turret and gun tube was steel). The Australian Centurion tank was comparable to the Patton in speed.
The power of the engine and the maximum speed of the 1971 Buick Centurion automatic are 220 bhp at 4000 rpm and 91mph respectively.
The M1 and its variants have a top road speed of 67.7 kilometres per hour (42 mph), and an offroad top speed of 48.3 kilometres per hour (30 mph).
