longshanks Posted August 14, 2016 Author Share Posted August 14, 2016 Whilst mucking about with oil drums for quay I remembered seeing a 40gallon drum on the deck of 658. This I suspect was for carrying additional lube oil so....... One battered drum with the addition of a tap. A bit of hairspray to let the original green show through. A stand and we have Thought it would be nice to have a coiled hose on top Thanks for looking in Kev 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
