There is already a template which converts a resource shortcut (e.g. 'lf') into the appropriate icon named {{Tl|Infobox/Part/unit}}. Based on that I think we should be able to develop a useful replacement template or we could even use that template directly together with the <abbr> used here.

Usage of mark template
User:NWM recently added the usage of their {{mark}} template would make it more consistent but I have a few problems with that. I tried to note them in my undo but the edit summary is simply not long enough.
Now I agree that {{mark}} should be used to keep it consistent but this template accepts as a parameter any unit which can be used instead of the word “unit” so there might be cases where this template is not intended to show a fuel can. I don't have really a solution for that except for identifying where it's used and have some proper replacement template which can be used instead and uses the different icons.
