fuel cans
Portable petroleum vessels
Fuel cans are portable containers designed to store and transport flammable liquids like gasoline, diesel, or kerosene.
They typically feature spouts for pouring and vents for smooth flow.
Safety regulations often dictate their color coding—red for gasoline, yellow for diesel, blue for kerosene.
Also called gas cans or jerry cans, the latter from the German-designed military containers of World War II.
