From "Bf109 Recognition manual" - Marco Fernandez Sommerau: "From the E7 to the last K4s, all Bf could carry auxiliary fuel tanks externally. These were suspended from a carrier rack under the belly. The type of belly rack changed very little between the E and the last K. The original ALUMINIUM drop-tank selected for the 109 was a Junkers design of 295 litres capacity. Other types of tank soon appeared, most being similar in apparience but with a flattened botton in order to give adequate ground clearance. At the end of the war an "economy" steel version (type 8-4559 E1) appeared but saw limited use as it was less resilient than earlier tanks and imposed some limitations - aerobatics and sudden manoeuvres were not advised with it attached, nor were reough field landings recomended. Areinforced steel tak was subsequently adopted." regards
