On T-34 and Kv- series, what are the external gas tanks? Giant jerry cans? Tank 'drop tanks' like aircraft, or the actual fuel containers of the vehicles?

They had a kind of large jerry can.
But it is in connection with the engine/internal fueltank.

I hope this is right.

It is my understanding that the ones on the KV had no connection to the fuel system. They were just like you said, big Jerry Cans.

I tought about a T-55.. and that tank had (I think) a connection to the engine or internal fueltank.
That was my example.............
