America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. Railroad cars stand on a side track ready to receive cargoes of gasoline stored in large spherical tanks at the refinery of one of the principal U.S. oil companies. The cars will speed the gasoline across the American continent to seaports where it will be loaded onto tanker ships for conveyance overseas to the armed forces of the United Nations. Gasoline totals have reached new records since the U.S. entered the war. Besides the enormous amounts required to fuel the 180,000 planes American factories have turned out since December 7, 1941, large supplies of fuel are needed for naval vessels, merchant ships, tanks and mechanized units in the field. It takes 25,000 gallons of gasoline to move a single U.S. Army tank division 100 miles (160 kilometers)

A United States tanker torpedoed by an Axis submarine. Despite a raging fire which sent columns of black, oily smoke billowing into the sky, crew members were able to bring the flames under control and the tanker was towed to port by a United States Naval ship. The tanker is now in an east coast ship yard being repaired and soon will be back in active service aiding the nation against its enemies

Tankers. Tankers left Gulf points for the Eastern seaboard at the rate of one every eighty minutes. Loading dock hoses like these serve a fleet of 300 vessels. An average tanker carries as much oil as 280 railroad tank cars, requiring four trains, four locomotives. Ships could haul oil for one cent a barrel as against necessary railroad rates of four cents. Low marine rates left no incentive for railroads or pipelines to equip themselves for transporting Eastern petroleum requirements
