==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country''===
In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Fuel Canisters appear in only one [[level]], [[Tanked Up Trouble]]. They have a critical role of fueling a [[platform]] used by [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] to progress through nearly the entire level. The [[Kong]]s must quickly [[jump]] at every Fuel Canister they come across, as the platform's energy drains quickly.

The amount of fuel in the platform is measured in five gauges. Each Fuel Canister has some red dots indicating how many of the gauges they can refill and, in turn, their usefulness to the Kongs. From a scale from lowest to highest, one red dot fills one gauge, while five red dots refill all five gauges. Ones for two dots and four dots exist in the game's graphic data,<ref>Mattress87, Mr. L, Tonberry2k. [https://www.spriters-resource.com/snes/dkc/sheet/45630/ Donkey Kong Country - Objects & Effects]. ''The Spriters Resource''. Retrieved May 16, 2022.</ref> but they are [[list of Donkey Kong Country pre-release and unused content|unused]].

===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''===
[[File:Fuel Tank.png|frame|right]]
In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', like their debut appearance, Fuel Drums appear in only one level, [[Rocket Rush (level)|Rocket Rush]]. They were redesigned to have a blue paint, and they are instead a fuel source for the [[Rocket Barrel]]. Fuel Drums are less common than in ''Donkey Kong Country'', so [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] must be cautious not to release too much exhaust fuel.
