About this product
Metal Oil Jerry Can – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Tanzania.
The design has not changed since the 1930s because it was right the first time.
The three-handle top is the detail that gives it away as the proper pattern. One person carries two cans with the outer handles; two people carry one can between them; and one person uses all three to pour with control. Plastic cans copy the shape and miss the point.
These are cold-rolled steel with an anti-rust coating inside as well as out, which matters because it is the inside that fails first on a fuel can. The screw cap seals with a locking pin so it cannot vibrate open on a corrugated road.
Flat sides mean they stack and sit tight against each other in a vehicle rather than rolling about.
Key Features
- 5, 10 and 20 litre sizes
- Cold-rolled steel with anti-rust coating inside and out
- Military-pattern three-handle top
- Screw cap with locking pin
- Flat sides for stacking
- Suits petrol, diesel and other fuels
Who It Suits
- Overlanding and long-distance driving
- Generators, boats, farms and sites
- Emergency fuel reserve
- Anywhere between fuel stations is a long way
Safety: carry fuel outside the passenger compartment where you can, never in direct sun for long periods, and open the cap slowly in heat because pressure builds. Fill to about 95 per cent and leave room for expansion. Never store fuel near an ignition source.
