These fuel tins hold approx a litre. Made from brass and home made. Have not cleaned the excess solder off yet, the lids are a plumbing fitting and fitted a washer to them. Much to my amazement no leaks first up. I have one to go for metho . A really good project, easy once the first one is made and the tricks are sorted out. Cheers Rob
Thanks for the nice words, now I think that's enough for today, quite productive. Cheers Rob PS. Got to use the Primus No1 to heat the soldering iron, it is so good at it.
Hi Rob, great work! Triangular ones next? https://classiccampstoves.com/threads/1924-primus-210-outfit.18240/ Best Regards, Kerophile.
Kerophile. Looked at your link, some ideas, I have a couple of collapsible stoves that may lend themselves to odd shape tins to fit a box. Got to make a box yet but that's possible. They need reserve caps which I can get. Ummmmm next project after a large metho bottle for the car I think. Just love tinkering in the shed or as I call it "the boys department". Cheers Rob
Rob, those fuel tins/bottles look great! Blueflame, that battered old Coleman fuel container looks amazing.
I like the Coleman fuel container, what size it it, looks somewhat big. Much better than the usual plastic thing fuel comes in. Cheers Rob
The Coleman fuel can is approx 1 imperial gallon. Here is an advert from the 1938 Catalog...but the words "Toronto" are not on the can, possibly indicating an earlier/later version.
@Blueflame You should put the coleman can in the gallery in it's own thread. Stove parafinalia. Nice work. Great idea @Robert Bruce What stove is next to them? Ken in NC
Ken the stove next to the tins is a Pirmus No1 , which one , as I have a fiew different dates I forget . Bit late , just saw your post. Cheers Rob
