FAQs

What materials is the jerry can made from?

The jerry can is constructed from 0.6mm thick steel with a fuel-resistant internal lining.

Is this jerry can suitable for water or other liquids?

This jerry can is specifically designed for petrol, diesel, and other fuels. The internal lining may react with or become contaminated by other liquids, and it is not recommended for non-fuel use.

How do I ensure the can is sealed properly?

Twist the bayonet closure clockwise until it clicks or feels firmly locked. Ensure the rubber seal is intact and properly seated. The locking pin should then be engaged.

What are the exact dimensions of the can?

The dimensions are: Height: 30cm, Length: 23cm, Width: 10cm.

Can I store fuel long-term in this can?

Yes, the fuel-resistant lining helps preserve the quality of stored fuel and prolong the lifespan of the container for long-term storage, provided it is stored correctly in a suitable environment.

Does it meet any safety standards?

While specific standards are not listed in the product description, the design features like a leak-proof closure, locking pin, and durable steel construction are indicative of safety considerations for fuel transport.

Troubleshooting

Cap is difficult to close or open.

Ensure the seal area is clean and free from debris. If it's stiff, try gently wiggling the cap while turning. Do not force it.

Slight fuel odor even when closed.

Check that the bayonet closure is fully engaged and the rubber seal is seated correctly and undamaged. Ensure the locking pin is properly secured.

Visible rust on the exterior.

Clean the affected area with a wire brush and apply a suitable metal primer and paint designed for automotive use to prevent further corrosion. The internal lining protects against fuel-related corrosion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High durability due to thick steel construction.
  • Secure, leak-proof closure system minimizes spills and fumes.
  • Internal lining prevents fuel contamination and container corrosion.
  • Locking pin adds an extra layer of safety against accidental opening.
  • Compact size makes it suitable for vehicle storage.

Cons

  • Can be heavy when filled to its 5-litre capacity.
  • Requires careful handling due to its robust construction.
  • Only suitable for specific fuel types (petrol, diesel) due to lining.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

No complex setup is required. Ensure the bayonet closure is firmly sealed by twisting it until it locks. The locking pin should be engaged for secure transport.

Compatibility:

This jerry can is designed for storing and transporting petrol, diesel, and other fuels. The internal lining is specifically engineered to be resistant to these common fuel types.

Care and Maintenance:

  1. Cleaning: After emptying, rinse the can with a small amount of the fuel it will be refilled with to flush out any debris. Avoid using water for internal cleaning, as this can lead to rust, especially if not completely dried.
  2. Storage: Store the can upright in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is securely fastened.
  3. Inspection: Periodically inspect the can for any signs of damage, corrosion, or leaks, particularly around the closure and seams. If damage is found, discontinue use.
  4. Emptying: When emptying, ensure you are in a well-ventilated area and away from any ignition sources.
