diesel guzzling? I thought battletech mechs used fusion reactors, unless they changed that at some point?

You are right, fusion reactors are used.

They overheat so hard that their fucking ammo cooks off even if it is stored in the extremities, i do not want to stand anywhere near a diesel-powered Mech, or even worse, pilot one when it fires a PPC Salvo.

Pilot immediately asphyxiates from exhaust

Yes, most mechs have fusion reactors, but there are certain types of mechs (generally called "primitive") which may use internal-combustion engines.

I mean they are in the setting but rarely used. Unless going by the start of the blackout age not ever really mentioned

I think is cause the style more than the actual tech that it has.
