Drinking milk was promoted as beneficial/giving you energy and strength with the slogan

 

 "Milk..... 

the white motor(engine)"

 

With TV ads like:

Checking the tank I bought recently for corrosion,

IMG-20200305-WA0025.thumb.jpeg.c9b0d0750bbd543d5ed0e633a4ad9656.jpeg

 

I found a few minor spots inside

 

IMG-20200305-WA0024.thumb.jpeg.ef70d2acfbee75456164a685053e4792.jpeg

 

 

 

But I did find the bit from the drilled out tank lock I suspected was in there....

IMG-20200305-WA0026.thumb.jpeg.a2da82b5f0ca12c4bda90f3aa85b2a98.jpeg

 

Stuck in the the side/bottom, managed to dislodge and finger out...
