Fuel Tank Cover. use your old socks? I dont think so!

[campmaster-k]

Recently I painted a few fuel tanks on white gas stoves. The tanks rattle around in the stoves and get all banged up. Solution -- put a cheapo shoe cover on it. They cost about a buck for two. Works great one size fits all.

Oh, Oh. I now fear someone is going to knit a cover for the fuel tank.

paper towel works for me, also between the lid and the grate on a restored one. Doug

You might consider an old sock or two to go over the tank like a sleeve also.

I did a search for shoe covers and they didn't seem that cheap. How bout just using pairs of old socks (after they've been washed).

I just finished a pair of wool socks. Should have enough camo yarn left for a fuel tank cozy.

I saw them but thought they were a bit thin and didn't offer much protection.

There is a cost for everything, for me the cost of old socks is to high. Please people keep your old socks at home.

OK, I'll bite! How do you get rid of your old socks and how much are you getting for them. Perhaps I'm missing out!!!

If I cook for any of you at a get together know that non of my old socks will be anywhere near the stove. I promise.

Me thinks you're too particular. I've never gotten any "cooties" from sucking my big toe after I wore out my thumb!!!

Maybe we need to send Kirk some old socks for his stoves!!

He probably darns his old ones til they fall apart..

He probably gets premium socks from an exclusive store and doesn't want to use the old ones for something as simple as a fuel tank cover. I bought some socks from REI once...they last forever and I'm not going to use them for anything but my feet!!

So..donate your old socks to Kirk. His are too nice, they last forever, and he has to buy the shoe covers for his stove tanks.

Remember..he has promised not to throw any into his DO cooking!!


Hey Kirk...remember we wouldn't tease you if we didn't like you and think you could take it!

People ---- old socks are nasty. Do not send me your old socks. Send me your old lanterns and stoves. How did we arrive here anyway. Gus. Let go. Let go of the old socks. They have no value. Do not don them on your cooking equipment.
