I once heard a rumour and checked it out in a book (can't remember which)
that in Hungary in '68, they found that a Molotov cocktail to the
engine exhaust of Russian tanks would ignite the exhaust fumes after about
10-40(?) seconds, and disable it.

Sorry to be so vague, but it's all from memory - I'll try and check it out
over the weekend.
