During World War II, metal canisters were first used by the Germans to store fuel and supply their military vehicles. The original metal design was created by a German engineer and has remained unchanged over time, continuing to serve military needs today. After the Germans, the Americans adopted these canisters for use in warfare, calling them "Jerrycans," a term derived from the British nickname for Germans. A key aspect of war is not only to steal the enemy's designs but, if possible, even the scientists who invented them. These canisters were designed to withstand temperature changes, as soldiers had to move between regions, and they could even withstand the risk of explosion, thanks to the embossed X-shaped indentations that allowed the canisters to expand and contract with weather changes. The metal cans did not rust, were durable when dropped hastily, and kept their contents intact for extended periods. Additionally, fuel transfer into vehicles was easier and leak-free. This design has persisted through the years and continues to meet the needs of the military and various professionals today. The Metal Jerrycan 5 liters Series 1 retains this timeless design to serve you well in fuel storage and transportation.
The Metal Jerrycan 5 liters Series 1 is made from high-quality, durable metal, ensuring safe transportation without leaks and preserving the contents in their original quantity and form. It features the distinctive military green khaki color of the military. Its metal construction withstands weather conditions and temperature changes. The embossed X-shape creates a flex point, allowing the canister to contract and expand with temperature changes without the risk of explosion. The Metal Jerrycan 5 liters Series 1 has two embossed lines on both sides, and we recommend filling it up to that point to create an air pocket under the handles for safety, reducing the risk of explosion under high temperatures. If filled to this point, the canisters can also float in water. The spout allows smooth and continuous fuel flow. It does not have a detachable cap but features a secure closure attached to the spout. The cap closes the canister airtight and is secured with a double-locking pin for extra safety, preventing fuel leaks. It comes with a warning label for fire hazards, TUV certification, and a sticker with opening and closing instructions, making its contents easily identifiable and ensuring proper handling. It also features an embossed capacity marking on the exterior, indicating the canister's volume. The large, comfortable handle is integrated with the main body, facilitating easy transport.
