Currently - if the fuel tank is hit by APHE or APCBC sometimes it sets the engine on fire.
But - when it gets hit by standard AP then nothing happens. The fuel tank acts as a bonus protection for the crew.
My proposition is that when the fuel tank is damaged then the crew have some time (about 1 minute) to jump out of a tank and repair the leak or the engine will stop from the lack of fuel.
But - the game should remember how much fuel the tank has lost, so - if the fuel tank is hit again, then crew will have less time for repairing.

They already have something similar with aircraft, so it’s not an impossible idea to implement. The problem with doing it with tanks is that the amount and rate of fuel lost would be determined by the location and size of the hole.
You’d have to hit near the bottom of the fuel tank to completely drain it, and if there are multiple fuel tanks it would obviously require all of them to be compromised to completely run out of fuel.
It would be silly if you could punch a 37mm hole in the side of a fuel tank and magically lose all your fuel in only a minute.
to be fair, Diesel is harder to set on fire, so that KV tank might be a bad example.
Hell yea, I love it. I ask if it’s possible.
