  • About Jerry Cans

    Jerry cans are essential containers needed to safely store and transport liquids, particularly fuels, chemicals and water. Originally developed for military use, their strong, durable construction and practical design have made them popular in a wide range of civilian applications, from camping and off-road adventures to emergency preparedness and industrial use. Jerry cans are valued for their durability, ease of use, and ability to withstand rough handling and harsh conditions. 

    Modern jerry cans are made of various materials, including metal and HDPE (a type of plastic), each offering unique benefits. Metal jerry cans are chosen for their strength and ability to resist punctures, while plastic jerry cans are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and less prone to denting. Both types are available in multiple sizes and designs, catering to different needs and preferences.

    Jerry cans have a huge range of different use cases, and can be useful in many different situations and environments, from refilling site-bound vehicles to emergency fuel, from water storage to the transport of chemicals. 


    NATO Jerry Cans

    UN tested and certified to group 2 levels (including flammable liquids like oils, petrol and diesel), these petrol containers are ideal for storing fuel for machinery like generators, cement mixers, lawnmowers, or cars and vans. Made from durable steel (far stronger than “unofficial alternatives”), each petrol canister comes stamped with an individual UN certification number: 3A1/Y 1.2/100.13 IND/125836580.

    Food Safe Jerry Cans

    Liquids can interact chemically with their containers over longer periods of time, so make sure you choose a can that has been rated for that use case when carrying and storing potable water.

    Plastic Jerry Cans

    Not all plastic jerry cans are rated for flammable liquids, but they are perfect for storing and carrying other liquids like water and antifreeze as they are much more lightweight and easily manageable.
