Product Information

Full details

The B&Q 10 Litre Jerry Can is an essential tool for homeowners, DIY enthusiasts, and professionals requiring a secure, durable solution for storing and transporting fuel. Engineered for longevity with high-strength pickled steel and a rust-preventative lining, it ensures your petrol, diesel, or oil remains clean and spill-free. While the rugged steel construction offers superior protection compared to plastic alternatives, users should note that its sturdy design results in a heavier empty weight than lightweight synthetic containers.

FAQs

Can I use this can for water storage?

Yes, the interior lining is designed to be compatible with water as well as petrol, diesel, and oil.

Is this jerry can suitable for professional transport?

Yes, it is compliant with UN Dangerous Goods and DIN standards, making it suitable for professional use.

Does it come with a pouring spout?

The design features a wide channel breather for effective pouring; ensure you handle it with care to utilize the integrated spout design.

What is the material thickness of the steel?

The can is manufactured from 0.9mm pickled steel sheet for high strength.

Why is it painted red?

The vibrant red finish is standard for identifying fuel containers, particularly for lead replacement fuels.

How do I prevent the exterior from rusting?

Keep the exterior clean and dry. If the paint is scratched, touching it up with a suitable anti-corrosion paint will protect the steel substrate.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty opening the bayonet closure

Ensure the locking pin is fully removed and apply firm, even pressure to the release lever.

Glugging during pouring

Check that the wide channel breather is unobstructed and held at the top position during the pour to allow air displacement.

Seal not holding tight

Inspect the rubber seal for debris or cracks. Ensure the latch is fully clicked into the locked position.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-strength 0.9mm steel shell provides heavy-duty protection
  • Internal coating prevents rust contamination
  • Wide channel breather enables steady, mess-free pouring
  • Locking pin adds a critical layer of safety against leaks
  • Meets international UN safety standards

Cons

  • Heavier than equivalent plastic jerry cans
  • Steel surface can be prone to external scratching if not stored carefully
  • Requires proper handling to avoid denting the metal body

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your jerry can, follow these guidelines:

  1. Inspection: Before first use, check the rubber seal within the bayonet closure to ensure it is seated correctly.
  2. Filling: Never fill beyond the designated capacity to allow for fuel expansion in warm conditions.
  3. Pouring: Engage the wide channel breather fully to facilitate a smooth flow and avoid splashing.
  4. Maintenance: While the interior is lined to prevent rust, periodically inspect the exterior for deep scratches or dents. If the exterior finish is compromised, consider a touch-up to prevent rust from developing on the outside of the steel shell.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, ventilated area away from direct sunlight or open heat sources.
