While on Active duty, I was a Petroleum Officer in the Army. We ran tank storrage farms with 3M [3000] tanks, 6" combat pipeline and pumps, and 10,000 gal. collapsible bladders. We provided Mogas, DF2, and JP4 resupply, to include hot refuel. A new Petroleum Depot diorama has begun on the layout. The Aristo Club [Army] car will join this display as it grows in detail.

Nice, JC.
What did you use to make the fuel tanks?

Ralph,
Thanks for your interest.
The tanks are make using an end cap and splice of plastic plumbing pipe [from Ace Hwd]. The two pieces were glued together. White vinyl lettering was used.
I still need to add a pump, manifold and piping. I am trying to find a dyecast M49C, 1200gal fuel tank truck model in 1/25 to 1/32 scale to add to the diorama.

Jim, Real Model Co, in the Czech Republic has a kit for a fuel tanker in 1/35th scale. 80 Euros!
