What did motor oil come in for motor pool use during the war? Was it shipped in 55 gallon drums and pumped out as needed?

 

Any pics of 1 quart USGI cans during the war? I have seen 70s era US cans...

Commercially 1 qt cans were available...did the US military use 1 qt cans?

 

thanks all

Packaged a number of ways.

 

I've seen 5gallon cans and I know that 55 gallon cans were used too

 

I have a 1 quart can dated 1944 and it's square rather than round

 

It's buried in the collection right now or I'd take a photo.

 

Check some of the topics on the G503 webside especially the gerry can topic and the tools forum for more photos
