German tanks did not use diesels, Maybach engines were petrol engines. The only significant German AFV with a diesel engine was the SdKfz 234 series of Armoured Cars which used a 200HP Tatra diesel. There were plans at the end of the war to convert the Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer to diesel power but the order to do so came too late (March 1945) to come into effect.
