Product Information
Full details
The Draper Flat Steel Fuel Can is an ideal solution for homeowners, hobbyists, or professionals who require a reliable and safe container for the storage and transport of petrol or diesel. Its primary benefit is the robust, flat-bottomed steel construction that ensures maximum stability during transit, preventing accidental tipping and spills. While its durable build offers peace of mind, users should be aware that the heavy-duty steel construction makes it significantly heavier than standard plastic jerry cans, which may be a consideration for those prioritizing lightweight portability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This fuel can is compatible with standard petrol and diesel fuels. To set up, ensure the cap is tightened sufficiently after filling. For ongoing care, store the can in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to minimize internal pressure changes. Inspect the seal inside the cap periodically to ensure it remains pliable and leak-free. If the powder-coated exterior is scratched, touch it up with rust-inhibiting paint to prevent corrosion. Always follow local regulations regarding the maximum storage volume for fuel in residential areas.
