Shelterbox “Here Am I, Sitting In A Tin Can” Quiz C/D 25Th March

[straydog]

According to the setter. "All the answers are things you’d find in tins/cans (some of them bizarre!) – and you’ll need to ‘think outside the can’ (as well as inside) for some of these".   They may well be right as I have “car” for one of the answers (that is if I am right!) 

It’s clues only please but I’ll be grateful for any help at all as I’m totally stumped on these!

16.  Japanese n etherwear (5).  (BTW This is how the clue is composed but I guess it could be a typing mistake and mean netherwear as all one word)

48. French house carriers (9)

49. The king with added dairy (12)

50. Americans don’t want anyone unloading a can of this on them (5,3 or 8)

[Squitty]

50 i have heard of the term a can of whoop a$$ but surely not an answer to this

50 seen as a reptile + a liquid used as a lubricant
