These depend on your order, your market or the certificate that covers your run, so we quote them rather than publish one figure that would be wrong for most buyers. Ask and you get the number for your specification.
Before you order: Check filled weight before specifying. 30 litres of fuel plus the can exceeds safe one-person lifting in most jurisdictions, so these are usually specified with a tap or a pump.
Dimensions, material thickness, carton and container figures come from the current production specification. Empty weights are derived from the quoted net carton weight. Confirm against the drawing issued with your order.
The 25L and 30L keep the 20L footprint and grow upward, so an existing vehicle carrier usually still takes them.
For long-distance overland, remote plant and generator runs, half again as much fuel per can is the whole argument.
One shape in two materials, so you can price a value line and a premium line off a single form factor.
The X indentation on the sides and base stiffens the panel and lets the contents expand in heat.
The same breakdown our distributors put in front of their own buyers.
The body is pressed and welded in AISI 304 stainless steel, a food-contact grade chosen so the metal itself is the barrier and there is no lining to fail. Production runs across our Vietnam and China plants under one specification managed from Singapore.
UN 3A1 certification is earned through a defined test regimen, and the can is built and verified to it:
Certificate, test report and stamped UN marking are available for the exact design you order.
The regimes that apply to this type of container in each market we ship to, with the detail behind each one a click away. This is what the market asks for; what this particular design already holds is in the specification above.
Orientation for specification, not legal advice, and not a statement that this design holds a given approval. Requirements turn on the exact design, contents and destination, and they change. Tell us the market at enquiry and we confirm what applies to your specification, what we hold and what we would need to obtain.
More range from the same rack footprint. The 25 and 30 litre share the 20 litre stance, so you carry more fuel per stop with fewer refills.
Galvanised steel is for hydrocarbon fuels: petrol, diesel and kerosene. Zinc reacts with acids and it is not food-safe, so chemicals and drinking water are out.
Stainless suits fuel and general fluids and skips the coating that can chip. It is not the food-grade water can; potable water is served by our AISI 304 stainless water line.
No. Neither is specified as our food-grade water can. For potable water and food-contact documentation, specify the AISI 304 stainless line instead.
Thirty litres of fuel plus the can exceeds safe one-person lifting in most jurisdictions. These are usually specified with a tap or a pump, and we can fit one.
0.8 mm galvanised or 0.8 mm stainless steel, cross-embossed for strength, in the upright NATO pattern. External size is 36 by 25.5 by 38 cm at 25 litre and 36 by 25.5 by 43 cm at 30 litre.
The design is UN approved. Steel fuel cans of this type are certified to UN 3A1 by design and plant, so ask us for the certificate, the test report and the stamped marking for the exact size and material you order.
US fuel containers up to 32 litres need a child-resistant closure and a flame arrester, plus EPA and CARB compliance for California. Tell us the market and we will confirm what applies and supply the components.
Yes. The galvanised body is powder coated to your RAL colour and the stainless runs bare, and either takes laser etching or embossing for private label.
Four per carton, made in Vietnam and China and managed from Singapore. MOQ and lead time are set on quotation.
Classic NATO-pattern pressed steel fuel can, vented screw cap, internally coated for hydrocarbons. UN-marked for dangerous goods transport.
NATO-pattern pressed steel can finished and marked for water, in the blue convention the field already reads as potable.
Half-size NATO-pattern steel can for lighter loads, smaller vehicles and buyers who want the pattern without 20 kilograms of fill.
NATO-pattern aluminium can supplied with a pouring spout. Meaningfully lighter than pressed steel where payload is accounted for.
The NATO upright pattern in bare stainless steel, 10 and 20 litre. Standard geometry with no paint to chip and no rust to chase.
