Fuel Containers & Jerry Cans

Refuel Your Vehicle With Our Jerry Cans & Fuel Containers

When you're setting out on a road trip, bringing a jerry can of fuel on a road trip is a smart and simple way to ensure you're ready for adventure. Having an extra fuel container gives you the freedom to explore more remote areas without worrying about running low on petrol, especially when you're a long way from the nearest servo. You can go further, explore more and enjoy the open road with peace of mind with a spare petrol canister. A small jerry can will make a big difference, helping you avoid stressful situations and keeping your journey smooth and worry-free!

Choose From A Range Of Jerry Can Materials, Including Metal & Plastic

Whether you prefer a petrol canister made of plastic or you think metal is the way to go for your fuel container, you'll find exactly what you're looking for at Anaconda. Choose from durable plastic jerry cans made from high-density polyethylene, or metal fuel cans made from sturdy materials.

What Type Of Fuel Container Do I Need?

This will depend on your travelling style. If you expect to visit isolated regions far from the nearest fuel stop, your jerry can volume capacity should be ready to compensate for any worst-case scenario such as a major fuel leak or running out of fuel before reaching a petrol station. For vacations closer to home, a smaller jerry can or fuel can should suffice. Check out our collection of 10L and 20L jerry cans from name brands such as Dune, Bushtracks and Fuel Safe. When not in use, an airtight and waterproof petrol can be safely stored in the garage. The 10L jerry can is a great option for holidaymakers, tradies and DIY professionals who appreciate quality. The 20L jerry cans in metal or weather-resistant plastic are in demand with 4WD fans and outback enthusiasts.

Jerry Can & Fuel Container FAQs

Can you carry fuel in your car in Australia?

Yes, you can carry fuel in your car in Australia. However, there are certain rules that you must follow to do so. For example, all of your fuel containers and jerry cans need to be loaded, secured, segregated, transported and unloaded safely. When it comes to carrying fuel in a jerry can, one vehicle is only allowed to carry up to 250 L of fuel.

Can I put petrol in any container?

No, you cannot put petrol in any container. You should only be storing fuel in steel or metal jerry cans or fuel containers that are made out of high-density polyethylene plastic. The reason for this is that incorrect containers such as simple plastic containers can easily build up static - which can ignite the stored petrol, which is why it's crucial to always use the right type of fuel can.

Can you put drinking water in a jerry can?

Yes, you can put drinking water in a jerry can. Because jerry cans utilise the same type of lining in the interior of the container as that found in containers like beer barrels, so they are perfectly safe for storing drinking water in too - just make sure they are completely clean before filling them up.

Are metal or plastic jerry cans better?

It doesn't matter if you use a metal jerry can or a plastic jerry can, just as long as the fuel container you are using is properly rated. If you are choosing to use a plastic fuel container to store your petrol, just make sure that the plastic it is made of is high-density polyethylene plastic.
