The item is a Grey U.S. Army Gasoline Drum (84 Octane) accessory, which is designed for minifigures. This is a custom brick scene element molded in dark grey (or gunmetal), designed to replicate a standard 55-gallon steel fuel drum. It features detailed white printing that reads “GASOLINE 84 OCTANE” at the top, followed by the iconic White Star (Allied recognition symbol) in a circle, and the text “PROPERTY OF U.S. ARMY” at the bottom. The drum has ribbed details on the side and a stud on top. This grey variant offers a more industrial, unpainted steel look compared to the olive green version.
Background: During World War II, the movement of the U.S. Army relied heavily on a steady supply of fuel. This barrel represents a drum of 84 Octane gasoline, which was the standard grade used for general purpose ground vehicles like Jeeps, trucks, and some tanks. The “Property of U.S. Army” marking stamps it as government logistics equipment. In a diorama, this grey drum adds variety to a supply depot, motor pool, or a battlefield scene where fuel dumps are being guarded or transported.
