At first quotation from the GOC 4th Canadian Armoured Division Maj.-Gen. George Kitching's memoirs:
It sounds a little like the Allies in the ETO had wide offer of the tanks and other AFVs to select gas- or diesel-powered vehicles for them. In fact majority of the vehicles were gas-powered. What the GOC of armoured division could do? Almost nothing, if I am not mistaken but maybe I am wrong? The Army's offer was not so great:
▪ M3A1 Stuart (or Stuart Mk. IV) powered by the Guiberson T-1020-4 Diesel engine
▪ M4A2 Sherman powered by GM 6046 diesel engine
▪ M10 tank destroyers and their Achilles versions powered by GM 6046 diesel engines
Did I miss any model? Was there a possibility for the GOC to select the tanks for his division?
Best regards

The M3A1 White Scout car came in gas with the JXD Hercules engine or the BUDA Deisel..
While not a tank it is an AFV....
