New jerry cans are of dubious quality so before I put cash in someone else's pocket any northern England members want to sell 1 or ideally 2 old cans?
 
I bought 4 metal second hand jerry cans, 20L ones and even with new seals they leaked so I took them down to the rubbish dump :unsure:
 
machine mart do a line of proper jerry cans bought a 10ltr one about ten years ago about £20 inc spout the larger ones weren’t a lot dearer but mine was to fit in a specific place in the motorhome but it was 10 years ago
 
Any army surplus type stores near you, the one in Exeter sells them.
 
I bought a couple of new 10L ones and they seem pretty good with my only complaint being the paint quality - thin and faded quickly. Sprayed them with Hammerite and look the part now (also meant could 'colour-code' them ... Black for Diesel/Kerosene, Green for Petrol).
I'll check in Surplus Stores as well. (I wonder if the one in Exeter has ex-Commando ones from Exmouth in there ;) )
 
You will nev

Interesting though, these ones are wide neck and they don't have the nozzles in stock and their 'normal' neck cans that haven't had water in them are £15

Hmmm 🤔

It does say on the product detail " .... they are made in the same specification as any other can". Wouldn't that apply to the mouth/outlet as well?

I have one of those nozzles and fits on both my 10L and 20L Jerry Cans :)

(just noticed the "wide neck" in the info. ah well.)
