Container for fuel for a flamethrower? I think I have seen pictures of flamethrowers on a Sdkfz 251 so thats the first thing that comes to mind.

Alternative fuel system.

Luke is correct. It is a Holzgas generator.

Cheers, Ade.

Correct, it's a late war adaptation for battling fuel shortages. The engine runs on gasses generated from burning wood in the "stowe" attached to the rear of the vehicle. The cumbersome device took a long time to warm up before enough gas was generated to run the engine, so was never intended for use in combat, rather by occupation forces who were way down on the German Army's list of gasoline recipients.

I'm just getting ready to go out the door for work. I'll be gone most of the day so someone else can take over. Great thread, guys!

OK, name the girl in the middle of the pic. Fairly easy I think?

Cheers, Ade.

It's a wood fired fuel system that runs the half tracks engine Tom.
