Reilang Oil Can - Another Swiss Delight
During the week I caught up with Gregory Q and collected from him a Reilang No.3 oil can. I had been expecting to see a battered spun aluminium can but to my surprise the can was a robust casting.
I commenced a dissection this afternoon and found the innards to be coated in a layer of, let's say, hardened oil. I have cleaned off most of the oil from the pump mechanism but the interior of the can presents a problem. The rough casting will not make the removal of the layer an easy exercise. The oily build up looks similar to what is encountered inside an old aluminium cylinder head. Any suggestions that may aid in it's removal?
