Default Fuel cans

Hello Robin

Thanks for this. It is very interesting. I have a diesel can spray painted red on top for gas use. Same old gasket inside.

I remember the Service Battalion types having a special tool to open the lids as they would put them on tight and then the cans would expand with the heat.

They would be entertained watching us at the fuel points trying to open up the cans.

Had Don make one up for me a while back.

Cheers
Eric
