One of the things that I loved about the old M60A1 was the fuel cut off in the driver's compartment. A driver could simply reach back, knock the cut off on and within a couple of kilometers, the tank would sputter to a stop.
It was also amazing the number of times that a tank would sputter to a stop, inside some small village and while the tank crew tried to figure out the problem, a loader whould run into a LottoTotto and pick up bread, sausage and beer!
And volia! the tank would start back up and rejoin the convoy...
