FAQs

What materials is the jerry can made from?

The jerry can is constructed from robust 0.9mm pickled steel sheet with a fuel-resistant lining.

Can this jerry can be used for water storage?

Yes, the fuel-resistant lining also prevents rust and corrosion from water, making it suitable for water storage.

What does the black colour signify?

The black colour is used for easy identification, indicating that this jerry can is intended for diesel fuel storage.

How do I ensure the can is leak-proof during transport?

Ensure the bayonet closure is tightly secured and the locking pin is engaged. Store the can upright or on its designated side, avoiding conditions that could compromise the seal.

What standards does this jerry can comply with?

It is manufactured to comply with UN Dangerous Goods and DIN standards.

How much does the empty jerry can weigh?

The net weight of the empty 20 Litre Jerry Can is 4.05kg.

Is the bayonet closure mechanism difficult to operate?

The bayonet closure is designed for security. With the locking pin disengaged, it should operate smoothly. Ensure it is clear of debris for optimal function.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty opening or closing the bayonet cap

Ensure the locking pin is fully disengaged before attempting to open. Check for any debris around the seal or threads and clean if necessary. The seal may require lubrication with a compatible lubricant if stiff.

Slow pouring or sputtering

Ensure the wide channel breather is clear and not obstructed. Tilt the can to an appropriate angle to allow air to enter through the breather and liquid to exit smoothly.

Rust or corrosion noticed inside the can

This is unlikely due to the fuel-resistant lining. If suspected, drain the can and inspect closely. If internal corrosion is confirmed, the can may need replacement. Ensure only compatible liquids are stored.

Leak detected from the cap

Ensure the cap is fully tightened and the locking pin is engaged. Inspect the rubber seal on the cap for damage or wear. Replace the seal if it appears compromised.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly durable steel construction for longevity.
  • Completely leak-proof for safe transport and storage.
  • Internal lining prevents rust and corrosion from various liquids.
  • Designed for user convenience with a wide breather for easy pouring.
  • Meets stringent international safety standards.

Cons

  • Can be heavy when fully loaded (4.05kg empty).
  • Steel construction may be susceptible to external scratching.
  • Requires specific handling due to its nature as a fuel container.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The jerry can is ready for immediate use. Ensure the bayonet closure is securely fastened and the locking pin is engaged before transport or storage. For first-time use with fuel, it is recommended to rinse the interior with a small amount of the intended fuel and discard, to remove any residual manufacturing dust.

Compatibility: This jerry can is compatible with petrol, diesel, oil, and water. It is colour-coded black specifically for diesel. Always ensure the liquid being stored is compatible with steel and the internal lining.

Care: To maintain the longevity of your jerry can:

  • Empty and rinse with water after use if not storing fuel long-term.
  • Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
  • Periodically inspect the bayonet closure and locking pin for proper function.
  • Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners on the exterior. A damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning.
  • Ensure the can is completely dry before storing for extended periods to prevent internal condensation.
