Thanks for the nice comments, yeah that little MobilGas stamped sign took forever, I was "off the clock" learning that process for sure.

The top of the glass cylinder will require a steel ring, as does the bottom, on Fry gas pumps. It keeps the glass from chipping. I always bed the glass and ring together with silicone. At the top and base of the glass, between the steel rings there is a cork washer that seals both pieces to the surrounding metal, ie. top and base. Regards, Paul
I’m looking for a few D-X cans to complete my rack. Must be in very good condition, with both lids. No holes in the tops, drained from the bottom is fine.
1x either Diamond Motor Oil or D-X Transmission fluid
