A little help please

It would be clearer if it said "my gas can". The confusion is resulting from clicking on the digger and it saying that. Your brain overrides "can" and makes you think it is talking about the digger's lid.

Perhaps when you first pick it up, phillip could mention "I found the gas can red mentioned but it is rusted shut. I'll need to find a way of opening it before I could use it". So many people are having issues from that one puzzle simply because of the wording and when it appears.
