I stenciled "kerosene" on a plastic gas can and have been using it for

I don't recommend it because it is too easy to make a mistake. I did
it in an emergency, and now am too cheap to do otherwise.

Are you my long lost brother? I've been searching for you for 20
years!

Maybe I'll take a marker with me, and write kerosene if the guy
insists. Later I can change it to skerosene, so as not to confuse
anyone.


Again, Red Green comes to the rescue...

Remember those things when you (me anyway) were a kid where you wrote on
the film over the silver/grey backing? You pulled the film up and it
erased the writing for a clean slate. Can't remember what it was called.

I had that and I liked it. I don't remember the name.

Just duct tape one of those to the can and change at will at the station.

Great idea. I should have though of that. When in college I had keys
that were stamped on them Do Not Duplicate, I would put some paper
tape around the head of the key and write "Back Door" on the paper.
