FAQs

What type of fuel can be stored in this Jerry Can?

This Jerry Can is designed specifically for petrol and diesel fuel only. It is not suitable for other liquids.

How do I clean the inside of the Jerry Can?

Empty the can, then use a mild cleaning solution and a suitable brush. Rinse thoroughly with water and ensure it is completely dry before refilling to prevent contamination.

What are the dimensions of the 20 Litre Jerry Can?

The dimensions are approximately Height: 46cm, Length: 35cm, and Width: 16cm.

Is the locking pin removable?

The locking pin is designed to secure the bayonet closure and prevent accidental opening. It is not intended to be removed during normal operation.

Can this Jerry Can be stored horizontally?

It is recommended to store the Jerry Can upright to ensure the integrity of the seal and prevent any potential leaks. Always store in a well-ventilated area.

What is the thickness of the steel used?

The can is constructed from 0.8mm thick steel for enhanced durability and impact resistance.

How heavy is the Jerry Can when full?

When filled with 20 litres of fuel, the total weight will be approximately 17-18 kilograms, considering the weight of the fuel and the can itself.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty opening or closing the bayonet closure

Ensure the locking pin is disengaged. Check for debris around the seal and mechanism. If stiff, a small amount of lubricant on the external mechanism (not inside the can) may help, but ensure it does not contaminate the fuel.

Minor leaks from the closure

Check the integrity of the rubber gasket inside the cap. Clean the sealing surfaces. If the gasket is damaged or worn, it may need replacement. Ensure the cap is tightened correctly.

Internal corrosion noticed after emptying

This is uncommon if the internal lining is intact. Inspect the lining for damage. If minor surface rust is present, it may be due to residual moisture; ensure the can is thoroughly dried. Significant corrosion may indicate lining failure.

Vapour smell even when closed

Double-check that the bayonet closure is fully engaged and the locking pin is secured. Inspect the gasket for any cracks or wear that could allow vapor to escape.
