Jerry Cans

A jerry can is a robust fuel container originally made from pressed steel and designed in Germany in the 1930s for military use to hold 20 liters of fuel. The stamped indentations on the side serve two purposes; firstly to stiffen the sheet metal sides and secondly to allow greater surface area for expansion and contraction of the contents with heat and cold.

Original applications were denoted by the color of the can although this has largely been ignored in recent times. Jerry cans are available in 5, 10 and 20 liter capacity and accessories include a selection of spouts and holders that can be bolted together or attached to the vehicles structure.
