I keep thinking I'll get time to post this as its own thread, but last week I posted the process I used to replenish the charcoal in the early style metal canister. Not as easy as the plastic late style, but an option for those of us afflicted with CW Syndrome.http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?s=&...t&p=2807286

Also on charcoal. There are pellets made specially for cleaning gas vapors but I could only find it for sale in bulk (~$150 for minimum quantity). It was 4mm pellets that match what is originally in the canisters (the aquarium stuff is larger pellets so less contact area). It wasn't worth buying a hundred canisters so I went with the aquarium charcoal. I mention it because I think a kit with the right charcoal, a pre-formed sealing band like show in my thread, and some sealant would make refurbishing the early style canisters a pretty easy 30 minute project (hint, hint @Mikey914 ). Oh, and 3 lbs. of the Accurel aquarium charcoal was not quite enough to fill the early canister. I had to top it off with about 3/4" of the old charcoal to fill it so it packed properly.
