GMC CCKW-353

Truck, 2.5-ton, 6x6, Tank

Fuel tanker conversions of the standard military 2.5-ton cargo truck played an important part in mobile warfare. Tanker trucks transported gasoline and diesel fuel from rear area depots, and rail heads to refueling points near the front. Acting as a mobile gas station, the tanker could refuel two vehicles simultaneously, and it did so in much less time than would be required to refuel from 20 liter fuel cannisters. Fuel tankers were often disguised as regular trucks, using canvas cargo covers, to avoid being singled out during an aerial attack.
