I am working on a char b1 bis, and intend to have it in a dio on a street with a wrecked building, being gassed up from metal barrels via a hand pump.

I am planning on using metal barrels from Tamiya's Renault UE kit. Wonder if these barrels would be used for gasoline, or if the French used some other size barrel? Tamiya's barrels look like about 15-20 gallon barrels.

Any help or comments would be helpful. TIA

Steph--

Great!! This is exactly what I want. I have emailed them to order the No.2 set with the 200 liter drums and the hand pump. Thanks a million for your help. My char b1 bis will be fueled in a very classy way!!
