There are two types of Plastic Jerrycan (Jerigen Plastik). The first one is the steel jerry can, developed by the Germans and later adapted by the Americans. The second, and newer, version, is the plastic jerry can, designed by Finnish designer, Eero Rislakki, in 1970.

Plastic jerry cans are hardwearing storage containers best used for storing fuel and other liquids. Designed with a practical handle and manufactured with capacities of up to 30 litres, they can be carried by hand.It is basically a robust liquid container made of plastic for holding different kinds of liquids, including gasoline and diesel, kerosene, chemicals, lubricants, water, etc. A jerry can’s design makes it possible to quickly attach a hose to prevent spills while filling it.

Since their introduction in the 1970s, plastic jerry cans with capacities between 1 and 5 litres have been more popular. They are advantageous for several uses due to their low cost, resistance to corrosion and rust, and lightweight nature.

Meanwhile, steel-based metal jerry cans have become recognized for their remarkable robustness and strength. They are appropriate for heavy-duty applications since they can withstand extreme conditions. Although manufacturers frequently add interior coatings to metal jerry cans to prevent rust and corrosion, these problems are nevertheless possible. These cans are ideal for transporting volatile liquids because of their superior fire resistance as well.

When it comes to storing combustible compounds, metal jerry cans are exceptionally reliable. Owing to their ability to resist flames, they are frequently utilized in situations where safety is the priority. Their interiors might be prone to rusting or corrosion, thus it is not advised to store particular chemicals in them for an extended period. Moreover, metal jerry cans are environmentally beneficial even after they are no longer needed since they can be recycled.
