Storing Fuel In Jerry Can Containers
Jerry can containers may be made of plastic or metal. They can be purchased in different sizes and widths. Capacities come in five to 20 litres. Remember though the larger ones can be quite heavy to lift to pour. You'll also need to get either a funnel or a siphon pump. You may require several jerricans in order to store extra fuel.
You can buy jerry cans from such stores as camping, fishing, boating, hardware, caravan accessory, and automotive.
There are several rugged plastic 20 litre red fuel cans that have been designed. To help with carrying it when full and making it easy to pour, some have two longer handles. The diameter of the fuel can's neck has been increased to let the filler nozzle at service stations fit into it to reduce the chances of spillage or overflow. Jerry can designs were made to fit standard 4WD racks in mind. Be sure that you pick up the smooth-sided one as it will fit better into a common jerry can holder. You can purchase some very durable twenty litre plastic jerry cans.
If you're going to carry a separate jerry can container for each different fuel, make sure you affix coded fuel tags to the cans. Leaded (White), diesel (Brown), unleaded (Red) and two stroke (Yellow).
Carrying fuel always has risk involved.
Fuel should never be stored in any living area or carried in a vehicle, but if stowed in a trailer or caravan, it should only be done in rigid, secured, and protected positions.
Metal jerry can holders are ideal for securing the cans to your caravan or camper trailer. As there are fuels that are combustible upon impact, these holders shouldn't be placed at the rear of the RV or wherever it may be vulnerable to accidental impact.
If carrying fuel in jerry cans is an absolute necessity, don't carry them part full. Another option to bringing along jerry cans is to upgrade your vehicle's fuel tank for long range travel.
Safety and filling jerry cans
Static electricity can build up between the vehicle driver or passenger and the seat and you will often notice you will get a small electric shock as you touch something metal when exiting the vehicle. This is a static discharge. If the fuel nozzle gets to be the first thing you touch, a spark might ignite the fuel vapours nearby and cause a fire. Don't go back into the vehicle to get your wallet until after you finish the fill as you might pick up static electricity again.
Turn the vehicle or any operating machinery off and do not refuel in a confined area. Don't smoke and don't bring mobile phones or anything that might be a source of ignition near jerry cans or fuel dispensing nozzles. Vapors from the fuel can ignite.
Wait until you can empty the whole contents of the jerry can into your tank, and then after preferably leave the top open for as long as you can, in the sun, to encourage the vapors from the remainder to evaporate and allow the can to dry out. Give the empty can time to cool down before replacing the lid and try to keep them away from direct sunlight and heat.
When refilling the jerry can, refill it to the top. Air expands to three times as much as than gasoline, a can that's part full is at greater risk with higher pressure than a can that's full. Always open the jerry can with extreme caution holding the opening away from you when releasing the cap as fuel may spurt out.
