| ==History==
| | In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Fuel Barrels make their first appearance in [[Tanked Up Trouble]]. There, they are used to fuel up a small platform, which is used throughout the whole level to guide the [[Kong]]s to the level's end. The barrels do not appear often in the level, though, so grabbing them when they appear is vital. A simple touch of the barrels can slightly fill up the platform's tank for a limited amount of time, though some Fuel Barrels barely fill up the tank at all. The amount of fuel given by a barrel is indicated on the drum with red dots. |

| Fuel Canisters are objects in ''Donkey Kong Country''. They appear only in [[Tanked Up Trouble]]. Fuel Canisters refill a number of gauges on a [[platform]] used by [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]], that number matching the number of red dots on the Fuel Drum. Collecting nearly every Fuel Canister is required because the platform runs out of energy quickly. Fuel Canisters can depict either one, three, or five red dots. There are Fuel Canisters with two dots and four dots existing in the game's graphic data,<ref>{{cite|author=Mattress87, Mr. L, Tonberry2k|url=www.spriters-resource.com/snes/dkc/sheet/45630|title=Donkey Kong Country - Objects & Effects|publisher=The Spriters Resource|accessdate=May 16, 2022}}</ref> but they go [[list of Donkey Kong Country pre-release and unused content|unused]]. | |

| Fuel Drums are objects in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''. They appear only in [[Rocket Rush (level)|Rocket Rush]], where they are usable for the [[Rocket Barrel]]. Fuel Drums are depicted with a blue paint. They do not appear as commonly as in ''Donkey Kong Country''.

| | In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', they are only found in [[Rocket Rush]]. There, they are mostly unchanged, although they are a dark blue color instead of black. During gameplay, the barrels must be gathered to fuel up a special kind of [[Rocket Barrel]], which [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] ride in through much of the level. The Fuel Barrels are usually found in plain sight and fill up more fuel than in ''Donkey Kong Country''. However, they rarely appear, so saving fuel is very important during the level. |
