Useless Stihl flippy cap leakes then broke

It is typical of German engineering to take a basic design and make it too complicated where it will fail for a multitude of reasons.

 

World War two, the Russians came up with the T34. it would run on anything, had an engine you could fix with one spanner and was as strong as a ton of reinforced concrete.

 

The Germans got a bit pissed off with their shells bouncing off the T34s so captured one and set about designing it better.

 

The Russians used their women and children to manufacture the T34 in somewhere called Tankograd and even moved the factory over a weekend when the Germans got a bit close.

 

The Germans came up with the Tiger Tank. Vastly superior but the issue was that they were much slower to manufacture and very unreliable due to their complexity...sound familiar???

 

And to top it all the Tiger Tank had a primer bulb .....

The Tiger was the most feared tank until the Germans replaced the standard fuel cap with a flippy one.

Chaos ensued, most ran out of fuel, and we won the war.

I was under the impression we super glued the L screw wide open

Good theories both.

 

I'll get on to my mate who designed the first tank in 1916 and ask his opinion.

Mein Onkel vas an unter offizier in the panzer regiment or an offizier in the unterpanzer regiment, not sure which as he told a few voppers und he said the Tiger vos the equivalent of a 3von20xp and vos too hot and heavy for most jobs and should have been available as a convertible.
