This jerry can holds 20 litres and is made from 0.8 mm steel sheet that withstands impact, drops and pressure without denting. The cap has a rubber seal preventing leaks and fuel vapour escaping, and the seal integrity is pressure-tested. An L-shaped locking pin secures the closure and protects against the cap opening accidentally during transport.
The can is powder-coated on both sides, providing corrosion protection externally against weather and internally against the fuel. The integrated carry handle makes it comfortable to lift even when full and while wearing gloves. Choose between military green, red and black when ordering.
What sets the Gelg jerry can apart?
The 0.8 mm sheet thickness is what separates this can from thinner constructions: it withstands being knocked about in a truck bed, taking load in a boot, and being dropped without splitting at the seams. The double-sided powder coating protects against both external corrosion and the fuel's effect from within, and the rubber seal under the cap combined with the locking pin keeps the contents in place even when the can is transported lying down or over rough ground.
Which liquids can be stored in the jerry can?
The can is intended for petrol, diesel, heating oil and other technical liquids – it is not limited to petrol alone. That makes it useful in workshops and on farms where several different liquids are handled, and the three colour options can be used to mark which liquid is in which can, reducing the risk of mix-ups.
How the jerry can is used in practice
The jerry can is used for storing and transporting reserve fuel in cars, vans and off-road vehicles, for refuelling generators and lawnmowers on farms, and by workshops, construction companies and service teams needing fuel on site. The 37 x 15 x 46 cm format is the classic jerry can profile that stands firmly upright and takes up little space in a truck bed or boot.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the Gelg fuel can 20L fit standard vehicle holders and jerry can brackets?
Not always – the can has external welded seams that may prevent it from fitting certain holders and brackets designed for cans with completely smooth sides. Measure the internal space of the holder against the can's dimensions of 37 x 15 x 46 cm before purchase if it is to be mounted in an existing bracket.
Does the Gelg fuel can 20L need preparing before first use?
Yes, the can should be rinsed out before first use to remove any residues from manufacturing. This takes only a few minutes and ensures the fuel is not contaminated when the can is put into service for the first time.
What sets the Gelg fuel can 20L apart from cans in thinner sheet metal or plastic?
The 0.8 mm sheet thickness provides considerably better resistance to dents, drops and pressure than thinner metal cans, and unlike plastic, steel does not let UV light through during longer storage. The double-sided powder coating additionally protects against corrosion both externally and internally, and the L-shaped locking pin secures the cap in a way simple screw caps do not.
