    Lifting 5gal cans of diesel fuel a problem

    Thanks "hedgerow", sometimes repurposing things end up costing me almost as much as buying new, but what's the fun in that.

    I was fortunate in getting a free 100 gallon diesel tank off of a wrecked refrigerated trailer. Mounted it on a small trailer I had and installed a Fill-Rite pump setup with a battery and solar panel and two filters with valves. I live in Texas so I applied and received a free red dye diesel...

    Bad Belt Latch

    I tapped mine a bunch then sprayed compressed air inside and then finally sprayed PB Blaster in it and everything started to work again. Lubricant had no affect on the plastic.

    Rusty Bucket

    Ospho is great. If it leave a gray powdery residue when it dries, brush or wash it off with mineral spirits before painting. Obviously with use of bucket, all the painting efforts are negated.

    Daily Chuckle

    I'm only 71 but my father in law told me when he was young and walking to school he would take his pocket knife and cut off the frozen milk that was sticking out of the bottles on neighbor's porches and placing the cap back.
