20L Fuel Can Jerry Can Petrol Diesel Spare Container Portable Fuel Tank

Range anxiety on a remote track is not about the gauge, it is about the distance between servos. Twenty litres strapped to the rack turns a nervous leg into a comfortable one, whether that is the run across the Nullarbor or a weekend where the nearest bowser shuts at five.

Twenty litres of reserve, carried flat

The can measures 50 cm long by 30 cm wide, so it lies against a rack or a tray wall rather than standing tall and top-heavy. The supplier describes the shell as built to slow evaporation and hold octane value over longer storage, which is the difference between fuel that starts an engine in three months and fuel that has gone stale. A 26 cm hose comes with it for pouring into a tank without a funnel, and the venting is designed to stop the back-pressure that makes a full can glug and spit.

Key features

• 20 L capacity: roughly a fifth of a tank on most 4WDs, carried outside the cabin.
• Flat profile: 50 cm by 30 cm sits low against a roof rack, tray or trailer.
• 26 cm hose: pours into a filler neck without a separate spout.
• Vented design: the supplier states the venting reduces back-pressure while pouring.

What's in the box

Before you fill it

• The supplier names no standard for this container, so nothing here should be read as a claim that it is approved or certified for carrying fuel. Rules on carrying petrol and diesel in a vehicle vary by state, and some insurers and campgrounds have their own conditions. Confirm the requirements that apply to you before filling it.
• Fill the can on the ground, never in a ute tray, a boot or on a plastic liner. Fuel moving through a nozzle builds static, and a bonded contact between the nozzle and the filler neck is what discharges it safely.
• Keep the can out of the cabin, secure it upright, and leave room for the fuel to expand in the heat rather than filling to the brim.
• No smoking, no naked flame, and keep it well away from anything that sparks. Store it in a ventilated place out of direct sun.

Suits long-range touring, boats, dirt bikes, mowers and generators, and stows on a rack, a trailer or a tray without eating cargo space.
