Have you ever had something annoy you to where you get obsessed with fixing it? That's pretty much what happened here. I love this fuel container for adding fuel to my tractor. Set it up on the hood and put the nozzle in and add fuel without spilling. Except pressing and holding the button down while the fuel gurgles in just got to me last time. So I came up with what I thought was a simple solution......adding a cam lever to hold the button down. Well, it morphed itself into drawing the cam up on cad, water jetting it out of nylon and cleaning it up on the sander, milling the thickness to specs, milling the aluminum side supports plus sanding and bead blasting, turning an insert down on the lathe and cutting two spacers. Sheesh! I got annoyed at myself trying to fix something to not annoy me. Well, the good news is it works and all my trouble was worth it in the end. Had a good laugh at my own expense!
