Jerry Cans?
« on: April 11, 2007, 21:20:13 »
I'm thinking of getting hold of some jerry cans for my next visit to the biofuel garage.  :wink:

Looking around - 20l ones come in steel and plastic, and the prices really vary.  What's the best option for transporting this stuff, and what should I be paying for jerry cans?

Cheers
Horness.

well you can use either plastic or metal jerry cans, just be aware it will eat the rubber seal :wink:  We paid around £14 for metal jerry cans but I am sure you can get them cheaper, not sure about plastic ones :D

I don't know if there are any limits for diesel but you are only allowed to store 20 litres of petrol in 2 x 10 litre metal jerry cans unless you have a licence.

It may be worth checking with the fire service to see what applies to diesel before you buy anything, and with the insurance for the location you intend to store the fuel at.

I use 25 litre plastic carriers I have 6 or 7 in the garage. Only problem I find is filling the tank from these, but at only £5 each a lot cheaper than Jerry cans.

The Bio Diesel garage I am using now Is going to get me an 80 litre barrel. This will be better as I can lift it in an out and then run the pump from it.

As far as I am aware Bio diesel storage is different from Diesel and petrol storage.

Just seen that you got your Bio from Bio Fuel, DUDLEY it was these guys who have offered to get me an 80 litre tank.

If I was you I would ask them to get you one as well. I think this is going to be a lot better for filling as I can just pump fuel in when I need it.

Also they where talking about getting a couple so I could give them a call say I was coming and they would get one ready to do a exchange. So no waiting to fill it up.

£18 is the most i paid for one but it was JCB yellow and it had a free nozzle (Brand New)  :lol:

if you try local army surplus places, i got one for £8, and on ebay i got a pair for £5 8) so if you keep an eye out you can find great deals

You really don't want to know. Well ok then 68ppl. Take a look at Bio Diesel in Brum thread

Normal average price is about 74ppl. Anymore than 85ppl then they are having a laugh and just trying to rip you off.

Still thinking of making my own.
