Fuel Can 5L - Red

Practical, Safe, and Easy to Use Fuel Storage.

The JC5R 5 Litre Red Plastic Fuel Can is a reliable, everyday fuel storage solution designed for safe, convenient handling of lead replacement petrol. Colour-coded red for clear fuel identification, equipped with a safety screw lock cap and a flexible pouring spout for controlled dispensing, and featuring a view strip for at-a-glance quantity monitoring, the JC5R combines practical usability with the safety features that responsible fuel storage demands.

Whether you're fuelling garden machinery, portable generators, small engines, or keeping a reserve supply for outdoor equipment, the JC5R provides a straightforward and dependable fuel storage solution for domestic and light professional use.

Colour-Coded Red for Lead Replacement Fuel

The JC5R is finished in red — the recognised colour designation for lead replacement petrol (LRP) within colour-coded fuel storage systems. Using colour-coded fuel cans across a garage, shed, or site compound is one of the simplest and most effective ways to prevent accidental misfuelling — a mistake that can cause significant and costly damage to engines and equipment, and that poses a genuine safety risk when working with flammable fuels.

The red colour coding of the JC5R provides an immediate and reliable visual identifier, making it easy to distinguish lead replacement fuel from other stored fuels at a glance — even in low-light conditions or busy working environments where multiple fuel types may be stored in close proximity.

Safety Screw Lock Cap — Secure Fuel Containment

The JC5R is fitted with a safety screw lock cap that provides a secure, reliable seal when the can is not in use — preventing accidental spillage during storage and transport, minimising fuel vapour escape, and ensuring the contents remain safely contained at all times. The screw lock mechanism provides positive confirmation that the cap is properly secured, reducing the risk of the cap working loose during handling or transit.

Safe, sealed fuel storage is not just a practical consideration — it is an important fire safety and environmental responsibility. A properly sealed fuel can prevents the accumulation of flammable vapours in storage areas and reduces the risk of fuel spillage onto surfaces, into drains, or onto skin and clothing during handling.

Flexible Pouring Spout for Controlled, Accurate Dispensing

The JC5R features a flexible pouring spout that allows fuel to be dispensed in a controlled, directed stream into filler necks and fuel tanks — reducing spillage and waste during refuelling and making the can easy to use across a variety of equipment and access positions. The flexibility of the spout is particularly valuable when filler points are awkwardly positioned or when pouring angle needs to be adjusted during dispensing — allowing accurate fuel delivery without needing to reposition the can significantly.

View Strip — Monitor Fuel Levels at a Glance

A standout practical feature of the JC5R is its view strip — a transparent panel running vertically up the body of the can that allows the remaining fuel quantity to be gauged visually without opening the cap or lifting the can. Being able to check fuel levels at a glance is a simple but genuinely useful convenience, particularly for workers or homeowners who maintain a fuel reserve for garden machinery or generators and need to know when a top-up purchase is required before equipment runs dry at an inconvenient moment.

The view strip eliminates the need to unscrew the cap and peer inside the can to assess remaining fuel — a process that unnecessarily exposes fuel vapours and increases the risk of accidental spillage — making routine fuel level checks both safer and more convenient.

5 Litre Capacity — Versatile for a Wide Range of Equipment

The 5 litre capacity of the JC5R provides a practical and manageable fuel reserve across a broad range of domestic and light professional applications. Five litres strikes a useful balance between meaningful storage capacity and easy, comfortable handling weight — making the JC5R a practical choice for:

• Garden machinery — lawn mowers, strimmers, hedge cutters, and garden tillers
• Portable generators — domestic backup power and remote site power supply
• Small outboard motors — dinghies and small leisure craft
• Agricultural hand tools — small walk-behind and handheld equipment
• Pressure washers and water pumps — petrol-powered site and domestic equipment
• Emergency fuel reserves — for vehicles, boats, and remote equipment
