Last week or thereabouts, I went to the local metal re-cycling yard to drop off some scrap and I came away with two finds. A nice section of 6″ stainless pipe (will be body of homemade muffler project) and this kinda cool jerry can. At first, and this is an excusable mistake as I am not a jerry can expert :), I thought it was a fuel container. But the internet came to my rescue and I identified it as a water can. Lots of info on jerry can can be found here. As far as I can tell, it is a water can, designed by Cavalier and made by McCord (the McCord part is a guess of sorts). I think 44 refers to the date, 1944. Anyhoo, the can is in pretty good shape and I wonder if I can’t use it for fuel (and use funnel). But I wonder if the inner coating will be affected by gasoline. Anyone know?

Saw a jerry can cut in half with hinge on and fitted out as a bar. Included an oak quadrant bar top.

Hi Tim,
Funny, I saw something similar recently, amybe it was on the 80-90 forum. Red jerry can with hinged door revealing a little bar set up.
It would be fun to brig that along to an outing.
Cheers
