From my other obsession, little British cars.

I think it's a P-38 tank.

Any of you eggheads care to help figure this out?

Thanks Bodhi.  Was that used on P-51s usually?

I'll check to be sure when I get back to work, but I do not believe so.  

It was used more by the Navy.

Not a 38 tank.  Looks like a Corsair DT to me

It is a MK 14 - 300 gallon tank, I mixed up the quantities.  The MK 12 is 165 gallons.

Lists of aircraft that can carry it are as follows:

A-26
B-26
F4u-4 and -5 (can not fully extend flaps)
F7F
P-38 (using modified pylons)
P-61
