"I'm sure a bunch of people are going to commit that I need to get a new toolbox. You're right but this one kinda matches my truck." Love it.
You mean comment,** bro.
It’s still good just the lid needs some work.
It’s got just the right amount of dents.
Andrew did you get a new toolBox yet haha
Right 👍😎🐾
"I think the person that designed these should be in prison", LOL I feel the same way man.
froggleggers that was funny
I said the same thing yesterday! Things were leaking and I was sick as a dog from huffing it all day
I have good cans that are high flow if you want one I need a down payment of 1,000,000,000 dollars
...Ventless cans?...the EPA doesn't care if they work or not..."if you want a gas can, then you have to buy the kind we say you can"...hmm..I wonder if the EPA considers modifying a fuel can "tampering with an emissions device"?...:)
My thoughts exactly, I can piss faster than I could fill up a fuel tank with one of those nozzles
In the gas can isle of some stores they sell "water cans" with the old style spouts in case anyone needs to haul "water".
love to fill up them "water" cans at the gas station for around 3 bucks a gallon, expensive for water but my stuff runs on it rofl
very good, thank you
Yep... I got 4 of them on Amazon for dirt cheap one time... Work great..
You can buy the old style replacement gas sprout for $10. I’m sure you can get them cheap on eBay.
Can I put sparkling “water” in it?
Bro, you should sell shirts and hats that say "Now the thing actually works." I would buy me some.
Homicideinvestigate LOL! You’re right, he probably should, I’d buy one too😂
@@CadellD me too
"Fix when its broken" :D
Always “fix when it’s broken.”
Why don't you get some printed for yourself would probably be cheaper as well??
Andrew appear's outta then air "So when i first started buying deasel equipment"
ballin X100 wow you really deserve more likes for this comment😂
Underrated comment 🤣. I have no business watching ACs videos but they are so addictive. So a comment on one other video of his along the lines of " I bet Andrew watches his own videos to learn how to do something" utterly hillarious. Some funny people watch his videos.
😅
@SISSY Sue Brett PANTYSISSY Right spelled diesel wrong
Just like Frank Howarth "POP!"
Very cool video.
I would have run the crap of that manual cranck fuel pump with an electric drill connected to it.
Also your bed tool box is perfectly tuned ,you should keep it,It takes years of use to tune aluminium boxes to this sound quality lol
LOL
WOW, what have I been doing wrong. My aluminium tool box still works perfectly and is still, well, straight after 15 years of use.... maybe I should beat the the thing with a hammer.
@@stevemazz3121 You just think it works perfectly, to reach next level you gotta bring the hammer ;)
Dude. I enjoy your videos and learn something every time. You are one of the few "git 'er done" guys around. Keep it up.
William Gleaves i
You’re one of the few “git ‘er done” guys around. Keep it up.
"This one kind of matches my truck" *Immediately clicks like button*
I love how he vlogs this. Even thought I do not own ANY equipment it’s just so entertaining to me.
Still watching?
thanks for the fuel nozzle and gas can discussion, its crazy but the new nozzels are so slow and they leak every time
love your no nonsense videos.
They leak everywhere! They never seal right! And they pour so slowly! He is right, half the time when they try to do stuff to protect the environment it just makes it worse.
I have a mix of new and old cans, but they all function like the old ones now. I can't wait all day to fill up a 12 or 14 gallon torpedo heater or a 5 gallon lawn mower tank.
I’m a surface mine equipment operator in West Virginia. I could watch your videos 24/7. Thanks for bringing this to RUclips. God bless you.
This dude is hella smart .. he knows everything about everything...
Andrew is very intelligent and is making good sense about what he does and most important he probably doesn't care what others think of him!!!!
shut up trevor!
Except how to properly install bearings.
Okay maybe now he knows.
Also, too much Teflon tape on those threads, see how it just gets bunched up and pushed out? Not good.
@@walterbrunswick He knows something about everything and that is golden. And he gets shit done. For example I wouldn't weld a carrying handle like that. But he has a tank with a carrying handle and I don't so he's a winner. 👍
Well, I'm not so sure about that.
He knows something about everything, and that's a really good start.
I'm a mechanic, and welder, and sometimes I almost cringe on how he does some repairs and welds, but he gets it done and that's what matters.
3:38
Andrew: The hose won't be kinked anymore...
Hose: I still like bondage
Andrew: SHUT UP
"Cause that would cost ya like a billion dollars!"... You're awesome man!!
You're**
“‘Cause that would cost you like a billion dollars!”... You’re awesome, man!!
Andrew, you are a natural in front of the camera, good job!
You should watch his early videos, he's seriously improved.
"this one kinda matches my truck, so I dont really mind it" :D Classic! well said...... Keep up the good work :)
It's obvious from what we see and the tone of your voice, you are on a very personal journey, thank you for allowing us to look over your shoulder and enjoy the experience!
This comment sounds like a Chinese bot lol
Yes thank you
bonjour , what about a tour of the property ( chicken coop , small lake , garage , shed for your fuel ..and drone shot ) .
Good idea.. also it'd be good to know the location of his alarm system .. and his safe... 🤪🤪🤪
by the color of the leaf and sun location he lives in dhhchfvivucop
“And he was trying to patch it with like chewing gum or something stupid like that. That’s not gonna work” lol😝😝
17:03 you can thank california and NY following CA on that one. It is awful.
Andrews toolbox: “It just got all smashed up....for no reason” 😂
The problem with steel tanks failing usually can be traced to condensation build up inside the tank. Most of the cheaper tanks are bare on the inside and therefore rust from the inside out. And it's almost impossible to detect this until it begins to leak. However, if you want to prolong your tanks life, you can have an internal coating applied. If your handy, you can purchase the stuff and diy. It can be a bit pricey depending on the brand and supplier, but sometimes you can't put a price on peace of mind. Just a thought. Great videos.
John Nelson what I did to avoid that on my hitachi digger and the notorious fiat 110 90 diesel tank is to keep it full to the neck all the time
An aluminum tank wouldn't rust.
You can get a 100 gallon aluminium tank for $768 on Ebay.
to me auto stop is a must. End of the day i put the gun in, have it open like halfway, grease my machine and dig my tracks out, when you have the timing right its usually just clicking off as im all done with the grease and shovel. job done, all ready for tommorow.
Grease is cheaper than bearings
I used to do the same, click the fuel on and start greasing, I had the timing down perfect until changing out the filter on the fuel tank... now the fuel flows too fast for the filler neck to keep up with and I’m stuck holding the handle like a rookie
You shared so many cool ideas using " Yankee Ingenuity" that I have to watch it a second time ......... Great job !!
You are awesome Camarata!! Love your commentary and showing off your stuff. Keep making and sharing :)
Your a good kid ! You make me laugh. Never lose your enthusiasm. You’ve got the ambition and the tenacity . Your work alone a lot ( I watch a lot of your exploits) so safety should be paramount. I’d like to see you wearing more PPE. Especially safety glasses! I’m a retired power company lineman and like work like you do but I’ve made to my age( 67).....I want you to make to 67 too !
I've seen several videos of him working with other people. Most of his work however is solo work that doesn't require anyone else.
Great idea with modifying the tank legs to slide easier!
You are doing really great 'kid'. TIP ... When you are drilling a 'half inch hole in that plastic gas can, .. Turn your drill backwards. It doesn't grab . I'm 72 and I just learned that.
ahh good tip
Instructions for the cap say to use anything but a twist drill because it grabs and makes a lopsided hole. Step drill, reamer, or spade bit are better.
That was GREAT! You can be serious and funny at the same time, that is a talent very few people have! Everything you talked about was a winner. Keep entertaining us as well as educating us! Great work Andrew!
The moment you realize the safety nozzles on the gas tanks make them more dangerous...
I think its nice when there is good info in the description. It shows that the creator made an effort with the videio aswell. It is clear that Andrew always does i think. Cheers from Sweden!
I have seen people do crazy things to trucks to use off road fuel ..... moonshine tanks like u mentioned, having a switch between the truck tank and the transfer tank, with a set up like old box Chevy with twin tanks, even getting and old school gas tank that mounts behind the seat like in 60s and 70s . There are cheaters every where. As an electrician I saw a set up where the deceased home owner put a device sleeve in his mast head and tied extra wires in to get free electricity off the service before the meter....been that way since the house got a 200 amp service upgrade in 1979. It takes all kinds.
Truck tool box looks pretty good to me, just needs a buffing ! She will shine rite up...great video, keep up the great work.
Just needs a little Flex Seal and Duct Tape and it's good as new!!!
John J - Mebby bang out a few of the wors dents.
What a really interesting tutorial. I never thought I'd be interested in the do's and dont's of fuel storage, but you brought the subject to life.
Dieselfumes can be dangerous.
A farmer came to a weldingcompany when they had lunch. Just wanted them to weld the lock on his tank, quick fix. It was empty. Big tank on a trailer.
Dindnt say what kind of tank. They wanted to be nice and send out a jung unexperianced guy since this was a easy job. He welded on the tank and it exploded. he died... :(
Thanks 4 your entertaining vids...
I never noticed AC that your pump is on the drivers side. Mine is on the passenger side. I’d prefer it on the drivers side but every other transfer tank I’ve seen on the road the pump is on the passenger side so I followed suit. I’m going to switch mine around.
Great practical video Andrew! This will help a LOT of people! Some great tips! Thanks for making this one!
Thanks.
What White Teflon Tape made for Air or Water? Do you mean Plumbers Tape? polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). That is why the one for Fuel is a different colour. So that a moron like you does not get the wrong stuff
ANDREW CULLEN wtf dude
@@simonrichard9873 *Just give Andy Collen a big FAT DISLIKE. That'll fix his wagon!!*
we made bins for loading scrap metal into them old oil tanks...
lay them flat cut down the center. lift sides up add metal on ends...
vola!....rectangle shape bin for scrap metal.... we cut circles in all 4 corners to lift bin
thanks 4 video. be kind.
100% agree with you on the portable gas cans. Funny part is that they are designed prevent spilling of fuel but in reality they end up causing more spills than with one ones with no valve junk.
As for fuel storage, I added a hand pump to my house heating oil tank and was one of the best things I did. If you are on automatic delivery you will never run out of fuel for your equipment.
Get a shaker siphon hose for fueling. You'll never go back to pouring.
www.agrisupply.com/shaker-siphon-pump/p/105925/
You just stick the end in the fuel tank you're filling, stick the other end with the ball valve in the can and shake it a couple times... starts the siphon right up and you either let drain the whole 5g tank or you can pull the hose out (or pinch it) to stop fueling.
Steve W -Thanks you were helpful, been looking for this.
another good practice is to install a desiccant/coalescing vent on big tanks , in or outdoor tanks vent out warm in daytime and suck in cold damp air at night , all that moisture collects at the bottom and rusts
Don't buy big ones.... The small ones are good. So don't spend too much money
for the thinner tank make a outer cage that you can lift
Dude 15:59 i said the EXACT THING the other day at work the boss had a SHIT gas can like that yellow one with the SHIT spout on it, WTF man i said who ever made this shit should be in prison , and you know for sure who ever designed that stupid shit hasnt ever had to use a fkn can to put fuel in anything EVER !!!! What a joke that is !!!
Just curious, how did you transport your medium excavator and the track steer loader, to that new house site...did you fit them both on a trailer behind your dump truck, or lift the track steer loader in to the dump bed, or separately, deliver them one at a time, to the work site?
Those two fit on the trailer together.
Andrew Camarata. Thanks.
I heard of a guy that uses his large dump truck. It has two large tanks. He disconnected the right tank sealed it off and carries dyed fuel for his machines. There are signs and labels on the tank stating that it is for equipment only. the left tank is fuel for the truck. Do you think this is legal since the tank is not connected to the truck's fuel system. It would be like carrying a fuel storage container with him. It saves time when on the job by pulling either one next to the other and transferring directly to the equipment.
If questioned you would have to prove that the tank is not hooked to the vehicles engine.
Another Super Learning Video form Andrew"'s Maintenance. You are the most Honest man in video.CHEERS sir. and Thank You.
Great Info. I discovered the NO-SPILL cans about 6 years ago. I like them so much I replaced all my cans with them. They flow pretty good without mods, but I did add a vent to each one.
5:03 I prefer my hose kinky!
Sorry, I couldn't resist...
Giggity. I'm sorry, don't kill me.
Awesome 👌 ANDREW THE 👏 TOOL 🧰 BOX MATCHES MY BEATEUP TRUCK 🚚 😀
I love the gas cans that take three hands to work.
i love the fuel can reviews, that one guy should be in prison!!! lmao Unacceptable!!!
.. If I lived near you, I can tell, we'd be best friends.. We are so much alike it's scary.
“Rules get made because people do stupid things”. This man for president.
Thank you Andrew. Very educational and I learned some new things.
Hello, I'd like to comment on your diesel discussion. I worked in the north both as a class one driver and working for a bulk oil fuel company (Gulf Oil), Stove oil is a lighter product than actual summer diesel and is commonly used in winter when the temperatures are well below zero. Summer diesel is thicker and lubricates much better for climates above zero. In the spring and fall when temperatures fluctuate from well below freezing to say 10 degrees above, we would add a quart of transmission fluid to each saddle tank when it got above zero and refuel at the end of the day with winter diesel (Stove oil). It should be the same in America as it is here in Canada. Ps: Really enjoy your videos and am amazed at how knowledgeable you seem to be.
Andrew. Keep it up ur a smart man love ur vids
I hear you and respect your perspective . I wise you and your family all the success you deserve. I too grew up poor and agree many politicians are self serving and thus some laws reflect it. Andrew is an example of hard work , determination and clear thinking that has resulted in his success. My comment was not personal, just an observation from all the crazy things I have seen during my career.
American gas nozzles are the worst. Up here in the land of frozen freedom you can still buy free flow nozzles.
kurt bees You can probably thank my lib-tard California for that. Law makers here are only good at making retarded useless laws that defy common sense. Thank you Andrew, fun to watch your videos. My dad is an old school Hungarian immigrant and we learned to fix everything, wish we were neighbors, currently one is a copy of Pamela Anderson and another is a guy who collects dress shoes. These people are about as useful as their fake boobs and protein shakes. My boys love your videos and like the reality. Thank you
Yep I think its nationwide EPA rules
Kurt bees - That's because the engineers are people that have never had to precariously hang from a sander fueling the engine at 3am in a blizzard with gloves on and hold a tank for 20 minutes while it agonizingly glugs through some device that takes 3 hands to operate. What ultimately happens is the operator removes the entire nozzle in a fit of rage and splashes and spills fuel all over the place trying to dump it in with no funnel. The answer is, make nozzles with a screw cap that is permanently and unbreakably attached to the nozzle and breakproof vent caps. We've sent men to the moon... this is not an insurmountable design challenge. I bet these "spill proof" spouts have spilled tenfold the amount that the "old fashioned" tanks ever did.
Its because of dumb fucks and lawyers. One of the oldest gas can manufactures got put out of business because of product liability insurance. Kinda pisses me off. Here's the article stateimpact.npr.org/oklahoma/2012/07/09/why-the-largest-maker-of-portable-gas-cans-is-going-out-of-business/
Holy crap.. 8 year old tank rusts through enough to leak??? That's crazy.. Maybe it's a northern thing..
#1, my son and I love your videos.
#2, how do you have the time and energy? Redbull in your veins?
#3, keep it up.
I put motor oil in my fuel . Don't care what anyone says. New fuel to dry. I rebuilt alot of old pumps and nozzles. We have marine diesels also.
Your a wealth of knowledge and experience. I appreciate your humbleness and willingness to share your experiences, both good and bad with others.

Agreed, the dolt who designed those new spill proof gas cans should be in prison. What a Gonkulator. I've heard of guys telling the DOT if they find red dye in their diesels that they added some kerosine (which is red ) to keep the fuel from Gelling in the winter time. Best to just pay the tax, the fines are crazy. I know they stop a lot of guys near farming communities and do testing. That guy with the false tank with road tax fuel and the main tank with red diesel was brilliant. I think your tool box goes with your truck. It's always best to look insolvent rather than mr. money bags otherwise it will be fines, fees, upcharges, gouging and goring a plenty.
And if you are all spiffy the clients think you are overcharging them
Kind of off topic, but this video reminded me of some friends of mine who still had a fuel oil furnace, a few years ago. One holiday weekend they realized they had not gotten their normal monthly fill. Tank was nearly dry, they called and could've gotten an emergency fill, that night....for a fee. Well instead of paying the huge fee that I considered extortion from their supplier, I filled my 150 gallon transfer tank, just like the one you have and took care of them. The fuel guy stopped the following week, expecting an empty tank and a charge to relight the furnace. Ended up with a freezer full of homegrown beef out of that one. 😂 Really enjoy your videos and content, too.
you should try your luck and contact some companies to see would they sponsor some products for you to use.
I have tried that but is seems like the give all the big and great stuff to ones that have poor info on them, as go on like there whole shoot was practiced, and people that have no real use for such a thing, help I have had 37 years at my trade and what I do on everything else, a Jake of all trades master of 2
Nooooo. One reason I like your channel so much is because you don't have annoying sponsors and we can actually trust your opinion
I don't want to turn my channel into a commercial.
@@AndrewCamarata I respect you for keeping it real.
you could put a valve on the bottem so you could drain the sludge off
Pretty good little simple video with some decent information. No RUclips 25 years ago when I started. Had to learn trial and error!
I just bought a battery driven pump for about 14 bucks from Harbor Frt. Runs on 2 c cells and has about a 30 inch hose. Pump tube Fits inside any conventional fuel jug. it will empty a 5 gal can in less than 2 minutes. The pump part goes down into the tank and the diameter of the hose is about 1/2 in......I am 84 now and cannot lift a full 5 gal and fill my lawn tractor without spilling fuel all over the driveway. You will love it. You can thank me later.

"You don't want to do this with gas" as you take a map gas torch to warm up the hose. #quoteoftheyear! Love it
My dad has a oil tank or oil heated house. One day he happened to be walking pass it and he seen it was leaking luckily, there’s no concrete or nothing under his so he called my grandfather and told him to get a patch ASAP so he sped over with a ratchet strap and a hunk of flexible rubber he came down as my father was getting several buckets filled with oil my grandfather applied the rubber to the spot and put a ratchet strap around the tank and over the rubber fixed the hole so my dad then called Irving (oil company) the guy in charge came bombing in the driveway basically did a hand brake turn ran to the tank with a little patch way worse than what my grandfather put there he laughed cause the patch he brought wouldn’t have stopped it but my grandfathers funky rubber patch did. they ended up replacing the the tank. Just thought it was a interesting story. Wanted to mention it
yeah, when they start leaking, just catch the oil, don't dig at the leak. Get another tank next to it and pump it into the other tank.
Hey Andrew! love your videos. Just a quick tip handed down from my father with regards to the teflon tape that I've seen you use both for water and fuel. Consider using the "back" of the tape when you're applying it to a pipe or fitting. It works the same way and it goes on easier when the diameter of the tape roll is considerably different than what you're applying it to. Give it a try, it actually works!
Andrew could that Sludge diesel could be use as a fire starter
andrew as always i love your video`s. but you might want to revise your advice about diesel fumes not being explosive. (you were using a blow torch in close proximity of the fuel tank) in the right conditions i.e. high temperatures diesel can vapourize and become instantly flammable. BEWARE!
"Thats the type of thing you would talk about doing but not actually do" that has to be my fav quote by you Andrew
One really should not use galvanized pipe for diesel fuel fittings or a galvanized tank. The zinc "can" be etched off of the internal surfaces of the pipe or fittings and will end up being deposited on the injector nozzles, thus plugging them up and causing preventable repair costs. Its not so much an issue now with the reduced Sulphur fuels that we have now for highway use, but I don't know what they are doing w/ off road fuel and its Sulphur content. Last I heard it was still at previous levels.
Next time you `scrap a tank , keep it and make a barbecue from it.
I was hoping for a link to the fuel rated teflon tape.
I recently went looking for it on Amazon UK but didn't see any, just the white tape which is fine for air lines anyway but I'd rather the fuel rated stuff for everything.
The white tape is Teflon, and I have used it on air, Natural gas (Methane), Water - both hot and cold, Desiel Oil and Gasoline. Fuel specific tape is just wite tape with color and mebby a little;e thicker.
That kinked hose was bugging me soooo much. Then you were like I am sure this is bugging people so I am going to fix it. You earned a subscriber lol.
Andrew, You is just a piece of cake. Can't tell you how much I enjoy. Don't have the words. Keep filming. No overfill with your ability.
voted thumbs up because you sorted out the pipe kink
An add to the comment below. I use this pump to fill the generator when the storm is blowing. Before moving to NC I would have to fill the Genny in the blowing snow. It is so easy to do, even your wife can do it while you are still at Myrtle Beach playing golf and she is trying to do client’s taxes in Conn. in February. Before we moved in the last big storm the gas tank on the generator broke open, could not get it repaired cause everything was shut down due no power, wife had to drive 3 hours to borrow a buddy’s generator. Wife fired me, wanted my paycheck back. Now I have my handy electric filler pump, she won’t break the generator plastic gas tank trying to heft 40 lbs. of gas. I’m still fired though. Think I could start a “Go fund me” site.
JoeB
Speed jugs are the best for fueling.
Thanks for the video I was thinking about the 55 gallon drums but forgot about using the oil thanks. I'm glad I know this because I can get these for free often. Also funny about the toolbox lol
I am an underground scoop tram operator in a gold mine, anyways the fuel pump nozzle, doesn't have a trigger lock, the company disabled them because operators were forgetting to turn-off the fuel pump/ taking off with the scoop tram, which sucks. So now we have to physically have stay with the fuel nozzle when refuelling which is a pain, especially on a scoop tram with a 6' high fuel tank spout, what a joke IMO.
Great video, Andrew. I really enjoy watching your channel. I feel like a kid in a candy store with all your equipment.
He tried to plug tank with chewing gum or stupid stuff. Lol that was great.
BRO ...lets hang out.!!!🤣🤣
do you get a lot of sludge in the bottem
Great video, Andrew! I'm currently looking at updating my fueling equipment, so this video was perfect timing for me. Thanks and keep it up!
Yeah I would never cheat 5he govt too ;)
It’s getting harder to find off road diesel where I live.
Andrew like your vids here in uk we use a product called Heldite which is a liquid that’s sets and seals all joints. Having worked for many years in the petroleum industry it’s the best by far bomb proof
Wow gas station fill ups? That's pricey! I like that you repurposed old heat fuel tanks. That's a nice idea. I have a 3000 gal and 1500 gal from STAFCO. Single wall skid with Fullrite AC/DC pumps. STAFCO was pretty easy to deal with and they make a nice product but being in Virginia freight cost me a lot of money. There just aren't many diesel tank manufacturers on the east coast, they all seem to be out west. I replaced 2 x 350 gallon tanks. I love seeing people repurpose stuff instead of letting them rust up outside or dump them in a landfill.
Just put in on a big fire. Got it.
All our tanks at the company I work for have metal containments. The lifting eyes are on the containment and they also have slots for pallet forks. Protects the tank much better and easier to move around. None of our trucks have fuel tanks. Fuel is either left on site or you need more load a tank in your truck at the shop and bring it out.
There's a company that sells replacement spouts for "old" fuel cans that are just an old school flexible spout and they come with a vent too. I replaced all the spouts on my "old" fuel cans with them. They even sell a high flow version that will empty a 5 gallon can in about 45 seconds. I highly recommend for fueling larger tanks
Thanks for the info on the old oil tanks. I got an old one in my basement.
You bad ass matches the truck
