Watts in a Tank was the first album released by the Dutch musical group Diesel. It was first released in the Netherlands in 1980 by Polydor,[2] and was released in the United States by Regency in 1981.[3] A CD reprint was released by One Way in 2002.[3]
The album, in-between rock and power pop, contained several polished soft metal ballads and was compared by some to Tom Petty's work.[4][5] It reached #68 on the U.S. Billboard chart in 1981.[6] Four of the tracks from this album ("Sausalito Summernight", "Goin' Back to China", "Alibi", and "Down in the Silvermine") were released as singles.[2]
