These can only be used for Diesel, Max petrol is 10litres in metal can or 5 litres in plastic can. Transporting this qty of petrol is illegal and can invalidate your insurance

Nope 20 litre metal cans are fine. 10 litre plastic.
Your comment on legality is also wrong.
You can store up to 30 litres of petrol in a maximum of 2 suitable containers in your vehicle. For the purpose of these Regulations a 'vehicle' is interpreted as any type of vehicle so includes boats, aircraft and hovercraft. This type of storage counts towards the total you can store at non workplace premises. (edited)

Interesting little vid:

that's the one! /it makes it float, cos why wouldn't you want that/ AND first editions had rubber lining, to keep the contents from rusting the metal. pretty sure that'll be the vid explaining how the seams are structural

As a jerry can nerd, I can see I'm already late to this discussion.

It's cheap, but not a great example. Sticky-out seams, dodgy looking spout, possibly lacking the air outlet tube, spot-welded handles. Will do fine for occasional use, if you're a tractor owner or car racer using them regularly it's worth spending more.

The ultimate original (be sure to wiki / look for the youtube history lesson about the central seam though - it's a major part of the overall strength and the first thing cheap copies saved money on) in 'can even store water': jerrycans.co.uk/pro…el/
The price is high but the value So great, gonna decorate walls with them If I ever beyond sense £rich.
American world traveller(s) smuggled the original design out of 30s Germany on seeing how next level world changing technology it was.
WW2's North African theatre being so back and forth = where the brits first started collecting them with intent. Tommy Cans were literally burst in the sun single use cheap tin.

Who can drink 20L of petrol without getting sick?
Jerry can.

Something here does not look right on this, the seam doesn't look like it's recessed, especially at the boottom?

Will that be a conversation starter when I'm filling it up at the water cooler in work? I hope not.

Unfortunately doesn't fit in my fridge

Stick it in freezer then.

Cant see mention of a funnel and would diesel leak out as it states specifically petrol?
3rd Sep
The spout of a standard petrol pump fits fully inside the opening, so you mostly won't need a funnel for filling.

To empty it, you buy a spout which attaches to the can. You only need the one spout even if you have several cans, so they are normally separate purchases.

Good for carrying water around.
3rd Sep
Not really. Any cheap used plastic drum will carry water. These Jerry cans rust terribly inside when used with petrol, never mind water so I don't know why you would want to carry water in them.

Just wondering, when you fill these kinds of containers at a petrol station, do you insert the nozzle all the way in or do you insert the nozzle as little as possible to make sure you actually fill it up? I would assume the only way to safely fill them up is to fully insert the nozzle so that the auto shut off works, but then does that mean you will always end up underfilling the container? (edited)
4th Sep
Well on some nozzles the hole which senses if the nozzle is now in liquid is right at the end, but sometimes it's a separate hole a little up the nozzle, but as long as that hole eventually gets under liquid it will cut off.

Prices are flying up and with Russia now announcing production cuts it's going to go up even more !
3rd Sep
Production cuts on Jerry cans. Interesting!

Why has this gone so hot
4th Sep
A stray spark perhaps
3rd Sep
Wow I’m in shock that the term ‘Jerry’ can can be used in 2023 !
3rd Sep
Can Jerry Can Can?

These can only be called Jerry cons if they conform to the original design. So, does the cap latch in the open position when fuel is being poured out? (edited)
3rd Sep
Make sure your lid is on tight, I think you may be succumbing to the fumes
3rd Sep
Can Jerry fill in more than 10l at the petrol station to a Jerry can?
3rd Sep
I think you can fill 2 x 10ltr and 2 x 5ltr, so 30 litre total

Thanks OP.
Is there any reason why this cannot be used for diesel?
Does anyone have a link for a nozzle that fits?
Some suppliers nozzles appear cheap but only fit 5L versions. Can anyone confirm the size of this 20L can spout, or eould a "universal" spout fit? (edited)
