Edit - the tank is $27. That's cheap enough that I might buy one for grins just to find out what it is. I also wonder if the tool box for $127 is the insert with all of the tools Dan Sent from my iPad On May 7, 2013, at 1:05 PM, Dan Penoff d...@penoff.com wrote: Not military - fuel?

Makes sense, but why would they call it a tank? I'll go back and look at mine. I don't think there is any bottom part to it - the insert with the tools is one piece, not two. Anybody else? Dan On May 7, 2013, at 1:35 PM, Max meadedil...@bellsouth.net wrote: Looks like case for tool kit.
