Product Information

Full details

The Simply Auto 10L Jerry Can in Black is designed for motorists, workshop use, outdoor activities, and emergency fuel storage. Its key benefit is durable, leak-proof fuel transport thanks to its HDPE construction and secure gasket. A potential caveat is that while robust, it's still a plastic container and should be handled with care around extreme heat sources.
