Ben,

If the tank won't start in the winter it is back to the old "instant pillbox" 
theory of warfare. The naptha supposedly thins the diesel to flow through the 
injectors better (same with the turbines). 

Roger that. Most Soviet tanks were designed to deflect flaming fuel (e.g. 
Molotov cocktails) away from the vulnerable bits but napalm, as the USMC 
sarcastically noted in the legendary Viet Nam epic poem, "sticks to kids". 
And tanks...
