They were DIESEL powered! No really! I'm not kidding!
They did have sealed systems and on-board oxidizer to mix with the fuel. But they really were powered by Diesel Engines!
Not only no, but hells no. They were all nuclear powered. They had a backup power supply that was basically a fuel cell, but they were never, ever, ever, diesel powered.
You may be thinking of 'Fang of the Sun Dougram', which supplied most of the other mecha that went into early Battletech.
