Old Rusty German Gas Can - Fuel Can Restoration Videos.
Hello again everybody. In this project I am going to restore an Allboy gas can, made in Germany.
This project seemed easy at first but I came to the realization that I was going to spend much more time on it than I expected. Like always it was a really fun project. Only, the longer time that I needed spend on it stressed me out a little bit. I had a scenerio in my head about the way things were going to go before I started the project, if we don’t count some of the differences, I was loyal to my plan we could say. First, I assembled the product but one of the pins that was holding the cone was loose so I drilled out two of the pins. After degreasing I sandblasted it. As I was sandblasting I saw the number 72 on it. I could say that this gas can was made in 1972, Germany. I guess it was a product of West Germany. I faced many dents after sandblasting. Especially there were holes caused by corrosion under the feet of the gas can. I fixed those holes by brass welding. By doing that, I repaired and created a protection from rusting in the future. I pulled the dents with a stud welder. After, I hammered out the uneven parts and used putty to create a smooth surface. I painted with an undercoat, a base coat paint and finally glossy varnish. I used the original color. I painted the main body blue and the cone part grey. The filter was rusted a little bit even though it was made out of brass. I sandblasted it and cleaned it with brass cleaning solution. It looked awesome after it was finished. I made a new way to assemble the cone part and re-new the pins which was compact and looked better. I drilled two bolt holes on a shaft and fixed two flat head bolts to it that looked from the right era it was made in. I coated these bolts with nickel coating to protect them from corrosion in the future. I think this was my favorite scene. Since the gasket in the cone was hard and brittle, I made a new one. That created a good seal. I used an o-ring with the cone to have a better function. By adding this, I can fill up a car without scratching the body paint. I made a rubber wick for the feet that rested against the main tank when it is closed. It was something that was needed and also it looked good. That idea excited me when it came to my mind. It very much satisifed me when it came to an end. And lastly I made and sticked mini rubber parts under the feet. I forgot, what do you think about the sticker work I made fort he main body of the gas can? I was going to create that look via paint but there were some problems so I made a sticker to get the same look. It looked really cool. I prefer this look to the old one. What was your favorite part of the video? Don’t forget to comment yours. And I need to remind that I read every single comment. I hope you like this video. Don’t forget to hit the like button if you liked what you saw. I look forward to read your comments. See you in the next project. Take care.

Germany has always designed and produced excellent quality and functional fuel cans. Libertad cans in WW2 were called "Gerry Cans", and widely used by British servicemen as they were so much better than our own.
