Before you order: Even small fuel containers are dangerous goods for carriage. Confirm requirements for your destination market before importing.
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.
Three litres is a get-home volume. It sells on the anxiety of running dry, not on bulk fuel economics.
These live strapped to the outside of a vehicle in direct sun, so the finish is specified for it.
A natural bundle with motorcycle luggage, ATV racks and adventure accessories.
Small format packs efficiently, so it ships economically alongside a larger order.
The same breakdown our distributors put in front of their own buyers.
The body is pressed from cold-rolled steel to the pattern, seam-welded, then finished as set out in the specification above: internal coating, galvanising or powder coat according to what the can carries. Pressing runs across our Vietnam and China plants under one specification managed from Singapore, so the drawing and closure stay identical whichever plant fills the order.
Every can is checked before it leaves the plant:
Petrol and permitted fuels
Acids, alkalis, food and drinking water. The steel body is built for hydrocarbon fuels and oils, so water, food and aggressive chemicals need a different line.

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.
It is a small steel reserve can sized for motorcycles, ATVs and small plant. Treat it as reserve fuel to get you moving, not as resupply.
Petrol and other permitted hydrocarbon fuels. It is a fuel can, not for DEF, drinking water, food or acids; check any specific fuel with us first.
The anti-corrosion, anti-UV finish keeps the 0.7 mm galvanized steel stable when the can lives strapped to a bike or rack in sunlight.
Yes. Even small fuel containers are dangerous goods for carriage, so confirm the requirements for your destination market with us before importing.
Steel fuel cans certify to UN 3A1 by design and plant. Ask us for the certificate and test report covering the 3 litre design and your fill.
Yes. We powder coat to a RAL colour and add your private label by laser etch or emboss, and it cartons cleanly for the shelf.
About 1 kg empty at 16.2 x 29.7 x 12.8 cm, packed 8 per carton at 8 kg net. Full carton and container figures are on the datasheet.
Steel does not permeate the way untreated plastic can, so a sound can serves for years, and the steel is fully recyclable at end of life.
Both are quoted per order. Send us your volume and finish and we will confirm.
US portable fuel cans need EPA and CARB compliance plus child-resistant and flame-mitigation features. Tell us the market and we will confirm what is held for this can.
