FAQs

What does UN certified mean for this Jerry Can?

UN certification means the Jerry Can has passed rigorous testing by the United Nations to ensure it meets safety standards for the transport of dangerous goods, including flammable liquids. The specific certification number (3A1/Y 1.2/100.13 IND/125836580) indicates its type, performance level, and manufacturer.

Can I use these cans for water or other liquids?

These cans are specifically designed and certified for flammable liquids such as petrol, diesel, and kerosene. They are not recommended for water, food, or other non-flammable liquids, as residual fuel could contaminate them, or the can's interior may not be suitable.

How should I store a full Jerry Can?

Store full Jerry Cans upright in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, open flames, and direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed. Avoid storing in living spaces or enclosed areas without adequate ventilation.

How do I properly clean a Jerry Can after use?

After emptying, rinse the inside with a small amount of the same type of fuel it contained. Swish thoroughly and empty completely. Avoid using water, as it can lead to internal rust. Allow to air dry in a safe, well-ventilated location before resealing.

What is the warranty on these Jerry Cans?

Please refer to the retailer's specific warranty information. Typically, manufacturers offer a limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Is the steel construction prone to rust?

While steel is robust, it can rust if exposed to moisture over time. Proper cleaning and drying after each use, along with storing in a dry environment, will help prevent rust. For long-term storage, consider using a fuel stabilizer or a compatible rust inhibitor.

Can I paint the exterior of the Jerry Can?

Yes, the exterior can be painted. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying a metal-appropriate paint. This can also offer an additional layer of protection against external corrosion.

Troubleshooting

Cap is difficult to open or close

Ensure threads are clean and free of debris. If sticky, a small amount of petroleum jelly on the threads (away from the seal) may help, but avoid over-application.

Slight odor when can is new

This is normal for new steel containers. Air out the can in a well-ventilated area away from ignition sources for a few days.

Minor rust spots on exterior

Light rust can be cleaned with a steel wool pad and then protected with a suitable metal paint or lubricant. If rust is extensive internally, the can may need replacement.

Fuel spills when transporting

Ensure the cap is fully tightened. Check the rubber seal on the cap for wear or damage; replace if necessary. Transport the can in a secure, upright position.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Certified for petrol, diesel, and kerosene. Do not use for water, food, or other non-flammable liquids.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After emptying, rinse the inside with a small amount of compatible fuel (e.g., the same type of fuel it contained), swish, and empty. Avoid using water, as it can promote rust. For thorough cleaning, consider professional services.
  2. Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed. Store upright to prevent leaks.
  3. Inspection: Regularly inspect the can for any signs of damage, rust, or leaks. If damage is found, the can should be retired from service.
  4. Rust Prevention: For long-term storage, especially in humid environments, consider using a fuel stabilizer or a light rust-inhibiting oil inside after cleaning and drying, ensuring it's compatible with the intended fuel type.
