Methane Tanks are cylindrical, pyramidal, and in Halo: Combat Evolved, cones that curl-at-the-ended structures used by Covenant Unggoy (Grunts).[1] They are moderately large and resemble small fuel tanks of modern trucks.[2]
When they are really huge, they provide a place for the creatures to breathe their methane atmosphere outside of their suits. Thus, Grunts remove their suits when entering the huge methane filled tank, as they are not needed.[1]
There is a main chamber for the Grunts to reside in and a smaller chamber in front where the Grunts can change into and out of their suits.[1] These structures often have posted guards to prevent the creatures inside from being caught off guard.[3]
When shot in Halo Wars, the tanks sometimes explode due to methane's high flammability. Sometimes if you shoot the gas tank, you can see blue gas seep out.
