The Japanese preferred diesel engines . Apparently this was because of a fire that occurred in one of their early prototype tanks which was petrol powered.

I read somewhere, that jap tanks came up against early M3 Stuarts in the Philippines 1942. Is this true ?

Movie ..with Banzai screams and a V8 !

Twin V8s were always going to beat a diesel!

Looks more like they are racing a M3A3 Stuart, 7cylinder radial...not twin Caddys
