Product Information

Full details

The Sealey Jerry Can - 5L - Red is designed for users needing a stable and durable fuel storage solution, particularly for transportation. Its key benefit is its wide, flat design that prevents tipping, ensuring safe transit of fuel. A potential caveat for some users might be its steel construction, which, while durable, adds weight compared to plastic alternatives. This jerry can features heavy-duty steel construction, a corrosion-resistant powder coating, an internal coating to prevent fuel contamination, and a unique spout-retaining handle.

Fuel spillage during pouring

Ensure the spout is correctly inserted into the can opening and that the retaining handle is not obstructing the flow. Check that the venting mechanism (if applicable) is open.

Difficulty inserting the spout
