Van storage for cans?
Been tidying out the van and realise ive got around 20 spray cans, grease, oil, paint, leak spray, cleaners, etc
Has anyone got any bright ideas for storing them?

I was thinking wine bottles! Think the real problem is i haven't got space for them, or i got too much stuff!

Just tie them to a length of string & tow them behind the van - bit like when people got married in the black & white times!

Re: Van storage for cans?
A section of PVC drain or conduit - whichever is a better fit. Cut it as long as you like - I did 2-3 cans high. Cut a slot down one side ( leave the ends to retain the tube structure) to lift cans. Or use some wire or thin sheet metal to make a 'puller'. That may be better as the nearest size tube I could find was about 15-20mm wider than the cans, so a sheet metal puller may help take up space & reduce rattle?
In my case I dropped them behind the metal tool box where I had some dead space. If you can keep the same type of can in each tube, most used on top if they're different contents, it works reasonably well.
