No, this CarPlan Tetracan is specifically designed and colour-coded red for petrol only. It is not suitable for diesel.

How do I prevent misfuelling my car?

The flexible pouring spout on this can is specifically sized to prevent it from fitting into diesel vehicle filler necks, which helps prevent accidental misfuelling.

What safety regulations does this fuel can meet?

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

Store the can in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, open flames, and direct sunlight. Always keep it upright and ensure the cap is securely fastened.

What is the warranty period for this fuel can?

Troubleshooting

Spout is difficult to insert into vehicle fuel tank.

This is a designed safety feature to prevent misfuelling into diesel vehicles. This can is designed for petrol filler necks and should fit standard petrol vehicle tanks.

Fuel can appears to be leaking.

Ensure the cap and spout are securely fastened. Check the spout and cap for any cracks or damage. If damaged, the can should be replaced.

Difficulty dispensing fuel smoothly.

Ensure the spout is fully extended and the cap is properly vented (if applicable by design). Avoid tilting the can too steeply, which can disrupt flow. Check for any blockages in the spout.
