T-34 Side Fuel Tank Piping ?

[TimDarrah]

One of the many kits that I have going now is the Accurate Armour VT-34 conversion. My Russian armour references are not plentiful, so might anyone know how the side (barrel) fuel tanks were plumbed?

 

Thanks,

Tim,

If you are referring to the 4 tanks on the rear side engine then no.....they were for storage only. Great pictures of that VT-34 too.

Just found an interesting site from IPMS/London Canada, they show and say that the external fuel tanks on the T-34 were not plumbed into the internal fuel system, the fuel had to manually pumped into the tank. So no fuel lines are needed. Kool problem solved.
