[MV] Turbine powered

Anybody know what kind of fuel the M1 Abrams uses? Diesel, kerosene or ??
Are there any known experiments with turbine powered smaller vehicles?

Turbines are cool. I would love to find a little APU to play with here at the
house. Like the Dixie Chopper group, I would love to have a turbine powered
lawn tractor. The neighbors think my -1C whistler is loud, wait 'till they
hear me spooling up a turbine!
I can hear them now "Don't you get tired of cutting that grass every day?"

Isn't there a book on M151's that shows a turbine powered mutt? It is in Japanese, but looks like a turbine.[color=blue]

I seem to remember a turbine powered M37 was for sale a few years ago, it was a prototype evaluated by the Army.

I'm pretty sure the Abrams is using JP8 currently, which is the same thing used for Army aviation craft though I know is can pretty much burn any type of liquid fuel including pure alcohol with varying degrees of effectiveness.
