jerry-can
Portable gas holder
A jerry-can is a flat-sided metal container for fuel or water, typically holding about five gallons.
The design originated in Germany before World War II—Allied forces adopted both the container and a name derived from "Jerry," wartime slang for Germans.
The distinctive shape with recessed handles allows secure stacking and easy pouring.
Also spelled jerrycan or jerry can.
