FAQs
Can I store petrol in this can?
No. The CarPlan Tetracan TPE005 is strictly engineered and color-coded for diesel fuel storage only to prevent cross-contamination.
What regulations does this can meet?
This can is tested and compliant with the Petroleum Spirit Regulations 1982.
Does the spout come with the can?

How long can I store diesel in this can?
While the can is durable, you should follow fuel manufacturer guidelines regarding fuel shelf life, as diesel can degrade over time.
Is this can suitable for marine use?
It is intended for general fuel storage; however, please check local maritime regulations regarding fuel container storage for your specific vessel type.
Troubleshooting

Ensure the threads on the can neck are free of debris and the spout seal is correctly seated before tightening.

Check that the cap is tightened to the correct torque and the spout is stored in the closed position.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum safety and longevity, always store the can in a well-ventilated, shaded area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. When using the can, ensure the spout is tightened securely before tilting to pour. To clean, rinse with a small amount of diesel if necessary; do not use detergents or water as this can contaminate the fuel. Always inspect the seal and the integrity of the can wall before each use. Never overfill the can—ensure there is enough "ullage" or headspace to allow for fuel expansion in varying temperatures.
