FAQs

What type of fuel can this can store?

This Draper steel fuel can is designed for storing and transporting petrol and diesel fuels only.

Is the spout removable for cleaning?

The spout is integrated into the handle for storage. While it is not designed to be removed for cleaning, it can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.

What does UN certified mean?

UN certified means the can has been manufactured to United Nations standards for the transport of dangerous goods, ensuring it meets specific safety and performance requirements.

How should I store the fuel can when not in use?

Store the can upright in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and potential ignition sources. Ensure the cap is securely fastened.

Can I use this can for water or other liquids?

No, this fuel can is strictly for petrol and diesel. Using it for water or other liquids could lead to contamination or damage to the can and is not recommended.

What is the benefit of the powder-coated finish?

The powder-coated finish provides a durable layer of protection against rust and corrosion, significantly extending the lifespan of the steel fuel can, especially when exposed to various weather conditions.

Does the 5L capacity mean it holds exactly 5 litres?

The 5L designation refers to the nominal capacity. It is designed to hold up to 5 litres of fuel, allowing for safe expansion and to prevent overfilling.

Troubleshooting

Fuel leaks from the cap

Ensure the cap is fully tightened. Check the rubber seal on the cap for any debris or damage and clean if necessary. If damaged, contact Draper for a replacement part.

Spout does not fit securely

Verify that you are using the correct integrated spout designed for this can. Ensure it is clean and properly aligned with the handle recess for storage. For pouring, ensure the spout is fully extended and correctly inserted into the can's opening.

Can appears dented or damaged

Minor dents may not affect performance, but significant damage that compromises the seal or structural integrity should be addressed. Contact Draper customer support if the can's safety is compromised.
