The Sherman tank primarily used gasoline as its fuel source, specifically the Continental R975 radial engine that powered many variants of the tank. Some later models, such as the Sherman M4A2, utilized a diesel engine, allowing for greater fuel efficiency and a reduced fire risk. Overall, the predominant fuel type for most Shermans was gasoline.
Sherman tanks primarily used the Continental R975, a gasoline engine that produced around 400 horsepower. This was a radial engine, specifically a nine-cylinder design, which provided the tank with adequate power for its weight and operational needs. Some variants, like the M4A2, were equipped with a diesel engine, specifically the General Motors 6046, offering better fuel efficiency and reduced fire risk. Overall, these engines contributed to the Sherman tank's reputation for reliability and versatility on the battlefield.

The M1A1 Abrams tank is primarily manufactured in the United States. It is produced by the American defense contractor General Dynamics Land Systems. Some components and subsystems for the tank may also be produced by various subcontractors located in different parts of the United States.
