FAQs

Is this jerry can safe to store in a vehicle?

Yes, the leak-proof bayonet closure and locking pin allow it to be stored safely in any position, provided it is secured against movement.

What is the wall thickness of the steel used?

The Jerry Can is manufactured from 0.8mm thick steel for maximum strength.

Can this be used for water storage?

This model is specifically designed for fuel storage. Using it for water may contaminate the contents due to the fuel-resistant lining.

Does it come with a pouring spout?

No, the pouring spout is typically sold as a separate accessory.

How should I clean the inside of the can?

If necessary, rinse with a small amount of fresh fuel and drain completely. Avoid using water or harsh detergents inside.

Why is it red?

The red exterior is the industry-standard color code for identifying leaded fuel storage.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty opening the bayonet closure

Check the locking pin to ensure it has been fully retracted; apply a small amount of lubricant if the mechanism feels stiff.

Fuel leakage from the cap area

Verify that the rubber seal is seated correctly and not pinched. If the rubber is cracked, the gasket must be replaced.

Exterior surface showing signs of rust

Lightly sand the rusted area, treat with a metal primer, and apply high-quality red metal paint to reseal the surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-grade steel offers superior impact resistance compared to plastic cans
  • Triple-handle design makes it easier to pour and transport with two people if needed
  • Locking pin ensures maximum security against accidental spills
  • Can be safely stored in any orientation without leaking

Cons

  • The empty weight is heavier than standard plastic jerry cans
  • Steel is susceptible to external surface rust if the paint is scratched and left in wet conditions
  • No integrated spout included (must be sourced separately)

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before using your Sealey JCY20R, ensure the internal surfaces are clean and free of debris. When filling, do not exceed the 20L capacity to allow for fuel expansion in varying temperatures. For maintenance, regularly inspect the rubber seal within the bayonet cap; if it becomes brittle or cracked, replace it immediately to maintain a leak-proof seal. To prevent external corrosion, keep the exterior clean and wipe away any spilled fuel immediately. If the red paintwork is scratched, apply a touch-up paint to prevent the exposed steel from rusting. Store the can in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources.
