Fuel storage is one area where the container genuinely matters. This heavy-duty metal jerrycan is made from high-strength steel with a corrosion-resistant finish — steel rather than plastic, because metal does not degrade with prolonged fuel contact, does not build static in the same way, and survives being carried in a vehicle boot over rough roads. A secure cap seals against leaks and vapour, and the pouring spout gives controlled dispensing rather than the spillage that ruins a boot lining and creates a real hazard. Available in 10 litres for a backup reserve and 20 litres for longer journeys or generator use.

Buying guide
Fuel storage carries real risk, so treat it seriously. Store a jerrycan upright, in a cool, well-ventilated place away from any ignition source, never inside a living space, and never in direct sun where vapour pressure builds. Do not fill completely — leave headroom for expansion. Use the spout for controlled pouring and stop before the receiving tank is full. Keep a cloth to hand for drips, and never smoke or use a phone while dispensing. Check the cap seal periodically, since a weeping seal is both a loss and a hazard.
How it compares
Against a plastic can, steel does not degrade with prolonged fuel contact and survives rough transport far better. Against filling containers not designed for fuel, a proper jerrycan with a sealed cap and spout is the only safe option. Choose 10L as a backup reserve and 20L for journeys or generator use.
