Jerry Can 20L - Red

Maximum Capacity Lead Replacement Fuel Storage. Certified, Robust, and Built for Serious Use.

The JC20 20 Litre Red Steel Jerry Can is the definitive high-volume lead replacement petrol storage solution for classic vehicle enthusiasts, heritage machinery operators, historic motorsport participants, and professional users who need the largest available certified steel jerry can capacity for LRP storage and transport. Finished in red for immediate lead replacement fuel identification, manufactured from 0.9mm pickled steel sheet with a fuel-resistant inner lining, and secured by a leak-proof locking bayonet closure with a wide channel breather for smooth, controlled high-volume pouring, the JC20 is manufactured and tested to comply with UN Dangerous Goods and DIN standards — delivering the most comprehensive LRP storage capacity available in the professional steel jerry can range.

Whether supplying lead replacement petrol to a fleet of classic vehicles, maintaining a substantial LRP reserve for a busy restoration workshop, providing an extended fuel supply for historic motorsport events, or simply ensuring that a meaningful quantity of the correct specialist fuel is always available for older engines that demand it, the JC20 provides safe, durable, and fully certified storage in a format that is as serious about performance as the vehicles and machinery it serves.

Colour-Coded Red — Immediate, Unambiguous Lead Replacement Fuel Identification

The JC20 is finished in red — the established and universally recognised colour code for lead replacement petrol within a properly organised, colour-coded fuel storage system. At 20 litre capacity — the largest in the range — clear, consistent, and immediately identifiable colour coding is more important than ever. In fuel storage environments where multiple types of fuel are stored in large quantities, the risk and consequence of selecting the wrong container are proportionally greater, making the immediate visual identification provided by the red finish of the JC20 a genuinely critical safety feature rather than simply a convenient organisational aid.

Lead replacement petrol is a specialist fuel with a specific and non-negotiable application profile — engines originally designed for leaded petrol that require the valve seat lubrication and protection that LRP provides in place of the lead compounds present in the original fuel specification. Storing and dispensing the correct fuel in the correct quantity from a clearly identified dedicated container is fundamental to the responsible management of LRP-dependent vehicles and machinery — and the red colour coding of the JC20 makes that identification immediate, reliable, and consistent every time.

The JC20 coordinates naturally across the full colour-coded steel jerry can range — pairing with green for unleaded, black for diesel, and the corresponding 5 and 10 litre red LRP cans — to create a complete, visually coherent, and professionally organised high-volume fuel storage system for classic car garages, restoration workshops, agricultural buildings, and historic motorsport operations.

0.9mm Pickled Steel Construction — Maximum Durability at Maximum Capacity

The body of the JC20 is manufactured from 0.9mm pickled steel sheet — a professional construction specification that is particularly appropriate at the 20 litre capacity level, where the physical demands on the container are substantially greater than at smaller volumes. A full 20 litre load of lead replacement petrol weighs approximately 17–18 kg — a substantial weight that places significant structural demands on the can body, seams, handle, and closure system during filling, transport, handling, and storage.

The pickling process removes surface oxides, mill scale, and surface impurities from the raw steel before forming — producing a cleaner, more consistent base material that accepts protective coatings more effectively and results in a finished product with superior structural integrity and surface quality. The 0.9mm gauge pickled steel construction of the JC20 provides the strength, rigidity, and resistance to deformation that a 20 litre capacity professional fuel container requires — ensuring the can maintains its shape, seal integrity, and structural performance throughout a long working life of repeated filling, transport, dispensing, and storage cycles.

For classic vehicle restoration workshops, historic motorsport operations, and agricultural users who manage LRP as part of their regular operations, the steel construction of the JC20 represents a genuine long-term investment in equipment quality — a container that, properly maintained, will provide reliable high-capacity LRP storage for many years and substantially outlast any plastic alternative of equivalent volume.

Fuel-Resistant Inner Lining — Protecting Fuel Quality and Can Longevity

The inner tank of the JC20 is protected by a specialist fuel-resistant lining that is an especially critical specification at 20 litre capacity, where the volume of fuel potentially at risk from rust contamination is at its greatest. Without an inner lining, prolonged contact between stored lead replacement petrol and bare steel would cause progressive rust formation inside the can — introducing contaminating particles into a 20 litre volume of specialist fuel that could compromise multiple vehicles and pieces of machinery if dispensed before the contamination is detected.

The fuel-resistant lining of the JC20 eliminates this risk entirely, maintaining the cleanliness and quality of stored LRP throughout its shelf life and ensuring that every litre dispensed from the can is as clean and uncontaminated as the moment it was filled. For owners of classic and vintage vehicles where engine protection is a primary concern and fuel system components may be difficult and expensive to source and replace, this protection of fuel quality is a particularly important and valued specification.

The lining additionally confirms the JC20's safe compatibility for storing a broad range of liquids, providing versatility that extends beyond its primary LRP storage role:

• Lead replacement petrol (LRP) — for classic cars, vintage motorcycles, and older engines
• Unleaded petrol — for modern petrol vehicles and machinery
• Diesel — for agricultural, site, and marine equipment
• Oil — for engine, hydraulic, and general lubrication storage
• Water — for site welfare, cleaning, and emergency supply
• Alcohol-based fluids — for specialist industrial and cleaning applications

Leak-Proof Bayonet Closure with Locking Pin — Maximum Security at Maximum Volume

At 20 litre capacity, the containment security provided by the JC20's closure system is of paramount importance — a seal failure during transport or storage at this volume would result in a significantly larger and more hazardous fuel spillage than from a smaller container, with proportionally greater fire safety, environmental, and practical consequences.

The leak-proof bayonet closure creates a positive, reliable seal that maintains full containment of the stored liquid regardless of the orientation in which the can is stored or transported — allowing the JC20 to be positioned upright, on its side, or in any orientation that vehicle rack configuration, trailer storage, or compound stacking requires, without any risk of LRP leaking from the can. This positional flexibility is especially valuable at 20 litre capacity, where the weight and size of the full can means that storage configurations are often dictated by available space and rack systems rather than optimal container orientation.

The bayonet closure is additionally secured by a locking pin providing an essential secondary safety mechanism that prevents the cap from being accidentally opened during road transport, rough terrain transit, or handling — even when the fully loaded can is subjected to the substantial vibration, movement, and physical stress of a long journey to a classic vehicle event, race meeting, or remote location. At 20 litres of flammable liquid, the locking pin's protection against accidental cap release is not simply a convenience but a genuine and important safety feature.

Wide Channel Breather — Controlled High-Volume Pouring

The JC20 features the unique wide channel breather that is a defining practical feature across the professional steel jerry can range — and at 20 litre capacity, smooth, controlled pouring is more important than at any other volume in the range. The weight of a full or partially full 20 litre jerry can during dispensing makes managing a glug-and-surge pour physically demanding and genuinely difficult to control accurately, increasing the risk of spillage, overfilling, and fuel waste during what should be a routine refuelling operation.

The wide channel breather maintains continuous pressure equalisation throughout the pour, enabling a smooth, steady, and uninterrupted flow from start to finish regardless of how much fuel remains in the can. For dispensing substantial volumes of lead replacement petrol into classic vehicle tanks, vintage motorcycle fuel systems, and heritage machinery fuel inlets — where accurate, clean, and controlled delivery is important both for vehicle care and for avoiding costly spillage of a specialist and relatively expensive fuel — the smooth pour performance of the JC20's wide channel breather delivers a meaningful and practical operational advantage with every use.

UN Dangerous Goods and DIN Certified — The Highest Standard of Compliance Assurance

The JC20 is manufactured and tested to comply with both UN Dangerous Goods standards and DIN standards — the two internationally recognised certification frameworks that provide the highest level of independently verified assurance of a fuel container's safety credentials, structural quality, and performance.

UN Dangerous Goods certification at 20 litre capacity is the most significant compliance credential in the steel jerry can range, confirming that the JC20 has been tested and approved for the transport of large volumes of dangerous goods — including flammable liquids such as lead replacement petrol — in full compliance with the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. For historic motorsport operations, classic vehicle rally organisers, and professional users who transport substantial quantities of LRP as a routine part of their activities, this certification provides the documented compliance assurance that professional liability, insurance requirements, and regulatory frameworks increasingly demand.

DIN certification confirms compliance with the relevant German Institute for Standardisation specifications governing the construction, dimensional, and performance requirements of industrial steel fuel containers at this capacity level — internationally respected engineering standards that verify the JC20 has been designed, manufactured, and tested to a verified and professional industrial benchmark appropriate to its 20 litre high-volume application.

20 Litre Capacity — The Ultimate LRP Storage Solution

At 20 litres, the JC20 is the largest capacity steel jerry can in the range — the natural choice for users and operations where the 10 litre format is insufficient for the volume of lead replacement petrol regularly stored, transported, and dispensed. The 20 litre capacity is particularly appropriate for:

• Classic car restoration workshops — workshop fuel supply for multiple vehicles under simultaneous restoration, maintenance, or preparation for shows
• Historic motorsport operations — large certified LRP reserves for extended race meetings, rally stages, and endurance events
• Classic vehicle clubs and organisations — fuel supply for club events, tours, and organised gatherings involving multiple LRP-dependent vehicles
• Agricultural and estate operations — substantial reserves for multiple pieces of older LRP-dependent machinery across large properties
• Classic vehicle transport and delivery services — fuel reserves for transporting multiple classic vehicles over extended distances
• Emergency and standby reserves — maximum volume LRP backup for classic vehicle fleets and heritage machinery collections
• Vintage motorcycle rallies and events — large fuel supply for extended multi-day touring and rally events involving multiple LRP-dependent motorcycles
