I still have a cantenna (lid and resistor) that I bought in the early sixties. The bottom part of the can has been replaced many times. I always filled it with mineral oil. My elmer said to use mineral oil, that the other stuff stank if the can rusted. So I did. Have never been able to find an aluminum bottom for the can. Current incarnation is the can from a gallon of deck stain, and a new gallon of mineral oil. Made the mistake of leaving it in out-shed on the floor for a while and the bottom rusted through.
I quite suspect that most oil in cantennas leaked out of a rusty spot and was never recycled or treated as hazardous waste. 73, Guy.
