FAQs

Can this Jerry Can be used for water storage?

No, this Jerry Can is specifically designed for flammable liquids and is not suitable for storing drinking water or any other non-fuel liquids.

What does UN approved mean?

UN approval indicates that the container has met stringent international safety standards for the transportation of dangerous goods, including flammable liquids. This can is approved to Group 1 standards, signifying suitability for dangerous liquids and chemicals.

What is the maximum amount of fuel I can store in this can?

In the UK, The Petroleum Consolidation Regulations 2014 limit the storage of fuel in portable metal containers to a maximum of 20 litres. It is the user's responsibility to ensure compliance with all legal requirements.

Do I need a special nozzle for pouring?

While the can has a secure cap, a dedicated pouring spout like the Faithfull FAIAUNOZZLE is recommended for safe, controlled, and efficient dispensing of fuel.

How should I clean the inside of the Jerry Can?

For cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution. Ensure the can is thoroughly rinsed and completely dry before refilling. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive materials which could damage the internal coating.

Is the locking pin mechanism included?

Yes, the Jerry Can is fitted with a lockable cap and a secure locking pin mechanism included for added safety and security.

What kind of steel is used for the can?

The Jerry Can is constructed from robust carbon steel, chosen for its strength and durability in heavy-duty applications.

Troubleshooting

Cap is difficult to tighten or loosen

Ensure the threads are clean and free of debris. Check that the gasket seal is properly seated and not obstructing the threads. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the threads if necessary.

Slight fuel odour even when capped

Verify that the gasket seal is present, undamaged, and creating a tight seal. Ensure the cap is fully tightened. Store in a well-ventilated area.

Rust appearing on the exterior

While the epoxy coating provides protection, minor scratches can expose the steel. Clean the affected area and apply a suitable metal primer and touch-up paint designed for automotive use.
