How about a T3 liquid transporter from 1960?

Top speed of 25 mph. Made for diesel. A deuce & a half couldn't really haul the extra weight but could certainly tow it and a max of two of these could be towed together. This may be an experimental version that i got to check out at a collector's place recently.

Wait, those tires are for compressed gas??!!

not for compressed gasses, especially not with that style fuel nozzle in the storage box... They were designed to be filled with a pump and two hoses, one hose for venting air/fumes back to the fuel source .. Dispensing can be done (to some extent) via gravity , but a pump does best

yep i figured it was .. the comment was intended to indirectly address the silly online compressed gasses info that was found , since there may be some out there who would take your comment and the online info seriously

I wonder if there are two separate bladders in there, one to hold the fuel, and the other for air to force the fuel out?

it's been waaaaay too long since I've seen one and only then it was sitting in a corner of a boneyard up at Bde Maint .. Having been "made" a POL specialist at the time, I recall looking it over with curiosity but I don't recall every detail of the thing .. I wouldn't be surprised if it had the option of using compressed air
