Weird 1950's era Fuel Can Restoration.

[@RRCRestoration]

Hey Guys, As you have probably noticed already i have updated the channel name and logo. The channel is no longer Really Random Channel it is now RRC Restoration. Just incase you were wondering why the water marks in the video still say Really Random Channel. Enjoy.

[@defender_of_wonder]

This is just simply beautiful... brilliant craftsmanship!👍🏻❤️😊⛽️

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you :)

[@samuelholmes3696]

There's something really satisfying about watching that old paint being scraped off effortlessly!

[@ComandoS-212]

Great pleasure to see this work. I encourage you to give us another satisfaction on other objects.

[@cvoisineaddis]

Watching you sand those letters hurt me a little. Nice work, though.

[@RRCRestoration]

Hey, Trust me i was as gutted as you to be losing them but for the greater good of the project the embossing had to go :(

[@simonRTJ]

yeah kinda sad to see that go, I winced when it was sanded off.

[@OmegaGamingNetwork]

Yea, same. I assume he had a good reason but man that hurt to watch. I get it though, I've had plenty of things I wanted to fix and it just wasn't a possibility.

[@therestorationofdrwho1865]

Caleb Voisine-Addis You know what though, they’re probably still there underneath all the coating he did. They just disappeared since those layers became level with the lettering. So it’s not completely destroyed.

[@cvoisineaddis]

For the most part, you're right, though you can see he started to sand into the "E". Still unfortunate it's not visible.

[@demotester3095]

The color is beautiful, and you did this project with so much love ... heart warming!

[@slackjaw703]

I can’t tell you just how much I enjoy your work. It’s such a joy to watch what some would consider a throw away turned into art. Thanks for posting!

[@RRCRestoration]

Hey, Thank you very much for your kind comment. :)

[@mike88g1]

John Parker art? You are as crazy as the throw away ppl. Put it back to use!!!!

[@slackjaw703]

mike88g1 Who says you can’t use art my friend. I’ve seen cars, Ridler winners, that I consider art that are used as they were intended. Useable art is all around us! Take care.

[@mike88g1]

John Parker not what you meant in your first comment. Bu ok I’ll give u credit for that.

[@slackjaw703]

mike88g1 I checked in with the author of that original tweet, and he disagrees with you. He never said art couldn’t be used, never even thought it, and he asked me to tell you to please re-read the comment.

[@Reman1975]

Gotta hand it to Bilt Hamber, They've thought up some pretty spectacular rust removing products. If you use DEOX-C with hot water it strips rust off quicker and more thoroughly than any other stuff I've tried. When I started my Ford Capri restoration I even looked into building an 8" deep "bath" using railway sleepers and tarpaulin. The idea was to sit the shell in DEOX-C so I could get every trace of rust out of the sills and floor seams........ Unfortunately, Due mainly to the size of the car it would have worked out ridiculously expensive, So in the end I just sand blasted it and painted DEOX-GEL into every area I could get to.

[@pemtax557]

[@RRCRestoration]

Hey, Thank you for your kind comment. More videos coming soon ;)

[@JohnJones-oy3md]

One last observation - if this were to ever be used for storing fuel again, I'd suggest sealing the inside surface of the tank. No telling what crud is left behind inside. In the states it's common to use something like POR-15 Fuel Tank Sealer for sealing/relining old gas tanks.

[@Bill23799]

That has got to be the best lookin fuel canister I have ever seen. Very nice workmanship.

[@jonvincentmusic]

My dad had one of those. Original colour was blue.

[@kiraerickson6341]

Legally across the USA, any current tanks need to be colored. Red for Gasoline, Yellow for Diesel, and blue for Kerosene, it would be illegal for him to fill that tank with gasoline if he did not paint it red. It would be really cool to see the original blue paint though!

[@skoronesa1]

Kira Erickson Link me the law or I call bs!

[@TR19]

It is not law, just a universal color coding. For commercial use you must use the color per fuel from what I understand by highway transportation laws. Personal use have at any color you want.

[@skoronesa1]

I looked it up, apparently this is law in at least wisconsin.

[@Billy28376]

skoronesa when I was a kid here in Oregon I worked at a gas station. We could only put gas in red cans and diesel in yellow. I don’t know if it was law or company policy.

[@timetable620]

Looks great. Just would have like to see some pin striping on the original embossed logo

[@RRCRestoration]

Hey some pin striping around the original embossing would be cool but unfortunately the pitting was just too bad to be bale to save the embossing so stenciling the logo back on was the only way around it im afraid.

[@clarettahodges3810]

Love this. Am not mechanically inclined and learned a lot. The whole concept is astounding in my opinion. Am going to use it to encourage a grandson-in-law to be. The only item I will caution him about is the paint powder showing on the arms. That means it's in the air, also. Lungs are susceptible. Took me about 40 minutes to watch because of back tracking, but enjoyed every minute. Thanks.

[@RRCRestoration]

[@bretstearns8083]

I enjoy watching your efforts. Regarding the pitting, We could only get a vague Idea of how thick the metal was in the pitted areas.Depending in the thickness, I might have gone through the effort of tinning with lead, brass, or an exotic. If I really wanted to save the embossing. I think I would have gone with a more fine brass screen as well. Thank you for the show!

I have no idea why this video was recommended to me, or why I sat and watched the whole half hour process. But it was amazing to watch and a real piece of art by the end of it. Shame about the embossing, and shame we don't make beautiful functional things like this in England any more.

[@huntingtonbeachsasquatch]

That was fun! ...Thumbs Up! Does someone make that filler paint in a Rattle Can? ....That could be very useful.

[@RRCRestoration]

Hey, Glad you liked it :). You can buy primer fillers in rattle cans but they tend to be quite thin and require lots of layers and drying time between coats to build up a decent layer. Professional grade stuff that requires specialist spray equipment thats another story though 😉

[@huntingtonbeachsasquatch]

Thanks!

It's a rust remover/inhibitor. I was surprised to see him use a whole container of it (or most of one it looked like). That stuff isn't very cheap. The gas can must be worth it, maybe it's an heirloom. :)

[@84953]

With all the material taken off, and the embossed lettering sanded down, I'm surprised there weren't a bunch of holes in the can. Nice job though. I think the only thing that will be good for is a beautiful show piece. The other thing you could have done to keep it closer to the original would be to have cut a section out containing the lettering, clean up the rest of the can, clean the lettering separately, and then welded it back in place. If that were some sort of embossing on the body of a car, that's exactly what would have been done. RRC, kudos to you for all the time and patience to do this.

[@massimo3769]

I might be wrong but it's not a 1950's fuel can, most likely is a 1980's fuel can, Eversure Accessories Limited was incorporate in 1953 but the original name was Bsr(Plating)Limited and only in 1982 was changed to Eversure Accessories Limited, so if the can is marked Eversure Accessories Limited must be later than 1982
