Could be fuel. could be other petroleums products - lubricating oil, hydralic fluid, etc.

Re: USAC TSCO SQUARE GAS CAN ?
square cans were used INSIDE armored vehicles to fuel the aux generator - even though it is fueled from the outside of the hull.......I would really like to have that for my M18 Hellcat which calls those out for the interior equipment list if you will sell it!!??? Also used for water...in additin to the canteens on hangers! Could trade several nice WWII GI gas cans???

Do you still need one for your M18? I just picked one up that I'd sell.
