A jerry can is a product that is always handy to have in the workshop. These plastic or metal containers allow you to store liquids easily. You can fill the jerry can with fuel so that you can use it to fill garden machines such as a chainsaw or lawnmower. But it can also be useful to always keep a jerry can in the car. This way you will never run out of fuel.
Jerry cans are available in different materials and sizes. At Winparts you will find metal or plastic jerry cans in sizes 5L, 10L and 20L. A pouring spout is included with the plastic jerry cans. This pouring spout will help you avoid spilling liquids when transferring. If you opt for a metal jerry can, you can purchase the pouring spout separately.
Which jerry can do I need?
When you are going to buy a jerry can, it is useful to consider for what purposes you will use it. For example, do you want to store fuel as a reserve for your car or are you going to use it for smaller garden machines? When you are going to store fuel for larger vehicles, it is wise to immediately purchase a large size such as 20L. If you only use the jerry can to store fuel for smaller garden machines, a smaller size such as 5L or 10L is also sufficient.
You can choose between a plastic or metal jerry can. In general, the plastic jerry can is the most popular. This is because the material is very durable and cheaper. In addition, plastic is lightweight and therefore easy to use. A metal jerry can, on the other hand, is a lot heavier. The material is also a lot sturdier, so it has less chance of leaks.
How do I fill the jerry can?
To fill the jerry can, drive it to the gas station and remove the container from the car. When you are going to fill the container, place it on the ground and choose a pump where you can refuel manually. Then fill the jerry can, but do not fill it completely. This gives the fuel room to expand when it gets hot. When the jerry can is filled, the cap can be screwed back on tightly. Be sure to wipe the jerry can well before putting it back in the car and taking it with you.
