Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your CarPlan Tetracan, store it in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. When using the spout, ensure it is firmly attached to the container opening before tipping. After use, wipe any excess fuel from the exterior of the can to prevent degradation of the plastic. Periodically inspect the container for signs of wear, such as surface cracks or a loose seal, and replace the unit if you notice any structural fatigue.
