Churchill

[DRG]

I have a question

I have a number of photos of Churchill mk III and IV that show this hanging off the back end


but I also have photos from the same Mks that don't


Does anyone KNOW what that is ? I have been unsuccessful in my search

...( KNOW not GUESS..... anyone can guess I need to know )

Have you searched for Churchill tank + auxiliary fuel tank?

[DRG]

Why no, I hadn't. It seems too small to be a fuel tank but what puzzled me was that some photos had it and some didn't.

Surprising the answer was on a Site aimed at Canadian usage

an auxiliary fuel tank mounted on the outside rear hull, which carried an additional 148-litres. This auxiliary tank was connected to the main fuel system, but could be jettisoned from the tank in an emergency.

yep......its a fuel tank....

I should have checked that but hindsight is 20-20

thanks for the tip

I came here thinking this was a review of the movie coming out on him.
