FAQs
What type of fuel is this green jerry can suitable for?
The green color indicates this jerry can is specifically designed and suitable for unleaded fuel. It is also lined to safely store diesel, oil, and water.
How do I ensure the can is leak-proof during transport?
Ensure the bayonet closure is tightly sealed. The integrated locking pin provides an additional layer of security to prevent accidental opening. For maximum safety, store the can upright when possible, although its design allows for storage in any position.
Does the jerry can come with a spout?
A spout is listed as an optional accessory (JC20G/S) and may not be included with the base product. Please check the product listing or package contents.
What are the dimensions of the 20-litre jerry can?
Specific external dimensions are not provided in the product description, but it has a capacity of 20 litres and a net weight of 4.10kg.
Is this jerry can safe for storing fuel long-term?
Yes, the fuel-resistant lining helps protect against rust and contamination, making it suitable for both short-term and long-term storage of unleaded fuel, provided it is kept clean and stored appropriately.
What safety standards does this jerry can meet?
This jerry can is manufactured and tested to comply with UN Dangerous Goods and DIN standards, ensuring a high level of safety and reliability.
Can I use this for diesel fuel?
While the internal lining is compatible with diesel, the green color is a specific indicator for unleaded fuel. For dedicated diesel storage, it is recommended to use a jerry can designated for that fuel type (typically red or yellow).
Troubleshooting
Difficulty opening or closing the bayonet cap
Ensure the cap is aligned correctly and the locking pin is disengaged before turning. Check for any debris around the seal.
Slow pouring or sputtering
Confirm the wide channel breather is unobstructed. Ensure the can is tilted at an appropriate angle for gravity to assist flow.
Visible rust or contamination inside the can
This indicates potential damage to the lining. Cease use immediately and consider replacement. Follow recommended cleaning procedures if minor discoloration occurs and is not indicative of lining breach.
Fuel leakage from the closure
Inspect the bayonet seal for damage or debris. Ensure the closure is fully engaged and the locking pin is secured. If the seal is compromised, contact customer service.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The jerry can is ready for use upon arrival. Ensure the bayonet closure is securely fastened before transport. An optional spout can be attached if required for easier pouring, though the integrated wide channel breather facilitates direct pouring.
Compatibility: This green jerry can is specifically designated for unleaded fuel. The internal lining is also compatible with diesel, oil, and water, but the external color coding should be observed for primary fuel type identification.
Care: To maintain the can's integrity, empty and rinse with a suitable cleaning agent if switching between different liquids or before long-term storage. Store in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Periodically check the bayonet closure and locking pin for proper function. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the lining or exterior.
