 ==History==
 ===''Donkey Kong Country''===
-In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Fuel Barrels only appear in [[Tanked Up Trouble]]. They have a critical role of fueling a platform that [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] use throughout the level. The [[Kong]]s must quickly jump at every Fuel Barrel they encounter, as the platform's energy drains quickly.
+In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Fuel Canisters appear in only one [[level]], [[Tanked Up Trouble]]. They have a critical role of fueling a [[platform]] that [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] use during most of level. Each Fuel Canister has some red dots indicating how many of the platform's five gauges they can refill and, in turn, their usefulness to the Kongs, who must quickly collect any Fuel Canister they come across, as the platform's energy drains quickly. Fuel Canisters with one, three, and five red dots respectively fill the same number of gauges on the platform.
-The amount of fuel in the platform is measured in five gauges. Each Fuel Barrel 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.
+Fuel Canisters with two dots and four dots each 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!'', Fuel Barrels only appear in [[Rocket Rush (level)|Rocket Rush]], and they were redesigned to have a blue paint. Fuel Barrels have as much of a critical role as in ''Donkey Kong Country'', as the Kongs must run into the Fuel Barrels to keep the [[Rocket Barrel]] afloat. Fuel Barrels do not often appear in the level, and therefore the Kongs must be cautious to not release too much exhaust fuel.
+In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Fuel Drums were redesigned to have a blue paint, and they similarly only appear in only one level, [[Rocket Rush (level)|Rocket Rush]], in lesser quantities than ''Donkey Kong Country''{{'}}s Tanked Up Trouble. Fuel Drums are instead a fuel source for the [[Rocket Barrel]].
