Even if you use a liter of water a day, fuel will basically have
stopped being a logistics burden. My rather small car has a 40 Liter
fuel tank. I don't know what size a M1's or Leopard's fuel tank is, but
I bet it is rather bigger. Enough for months of unrefuelled operations.
Your crew will need more drinking water than that, even in temperate
climates.
