Similar to the Explosive Barrel, there are various Gas Tanks scattered throughout the world as part and parcel of industrial society. These structures react poorly when hit by gunfire or explosives, and will detonate with extreme force and significant radius. Unlike Explosive Barrels, they cannot be easily targeted and can blend into the world around them thanks to their more industrial color schemes, so they can pose a much greater threat to unwary commanders -- and an even greater opportunity to canny ones.
Worth noting is that Gas Tanks are almost always located near to other Buildings; these buildings are effectively doomed from a combat standpoint, as if a unit garrisons one, attacking units are almost guaranteed to eventually spray fire and hit the Gas Tank at some point. Commanders should pay close attention to make sure they don't accidentally order their troops to take up position near a bomb-in-waiting.
In addition to the model shown in the image, other types of tanks scattered around the world can also explode in this fashion. Some of these are cosmetic; some are very much not. Commanders should be wary of collateral damage when operating in industrially-focused areas, particularly oil refineries.
