Jerry can recommendations

[Jobbo]

I think I'll get a 10l one as well - picked up a 10l plastic can from Screwfix on my way home from work yesterday but it'll be good to compare the two.

@mik - where have you bought yours? The 10l ones seem to be a bit variable, some not the right shape (no bump behind the handle for instance) and some just a scaled down version of the 20l rather than half height. They all seem to be the same price as the 20l can so I may end up going for one of those anyway...

Sorry. - your @ didn’t work properly.

I was looking at a budget half-height one from Amazon, but the reviews weren’t glowing. I really fancied a Wavian, but it seemed a bit extravagant, so I plumped for an Invopac one off of the bay.

It’s a scale down rather than a half-height that I fancied, but they seem to be robust and reliable, which were my main priorities.

@Jobbo Not sure what you went for in the end, but my Invopac delivery just arrived. The weld down the middle could have been ground back a little more evenly, but it’s definitely solidly made, handle feels strong, and the lid & nozzle both fit snugly. Happy with that.

Only one handle though

I haven't even got round to filling up my 10l plastic can yet, so I'll see how annoying that is before I buy a metal jerry can as well. Not sure how awkward the local petrol stations are about filling up multiple containers; I will see. I think Jimmy gave me back the Jimny with a pretty much full tank of fuel and I only tend to fill them when I go out and fill that up, so I don't have to mess around with multiple different fuels.

Yeah, if I’d won the Euromillions I’d have plumped for a half-height Wavian, and cost be damned.

It’s only £30 you tight git. How much did your one banger cost?

£30.

Wavian is more like £50 once you’ve added a spout.

Do you know how many bottles of Buckie £20 buys you?

[Mito Man]

Hopefully enough to make you forget the error of your ways!

Not wanting to show off but Ive got a red Wavian.

Real ballers have these though…. One day I shall have one too.



Dave!
