plastic jerry cans

mine get a beating and have survived very well - sound yellow ones with a great pourer. $20 odd from SuperCheap.

Hi, i also use the yellow ones and never had a problem, got mine from bunnings.
cheers, Lance

Ditto with the Rheem black ones.

Hi all,
Just to be different i have black plastic ones and they have lasted well and have no sign of deteriation after some years of heavy use. I find the 10 ltr ones easier to handle than my previous 20 ltr ones.
Regards from Col.

I've used plastic for about 5 years - only problem is that the lids of the Black Rheem jerries are too small for the high speed fillers at the truck stops. My preference is for the yellow Willow jerries with a wide opening.

Be aware of some the red ones with 2 filler holes. The seals fall out of filler holes very easy and are lost before you know it. I have had plenty in my time. I now have 10 of them, they are all red from super cheap for $20 and have used them everyday for a year before I got a 200l jerry can :) I still tend to take the 10 jerrys on my trips too.

Thanks everyone seems like both the balck and yellow ones are OK .I wasn't real sure because I have only ever used metal ones but they aren't as strong as they used to be and are darn expensive.
Cheers Allan

GO for it, and if you are unfortunate to hole one, and that would be very unlikely, they are cheap to replace.
I have yellow and red, and never given a problem.

Cheers

Hi Allan,
I have the yellow one's and the truck fast fill nozzle doesn't fit,the caps have to be on tight otherwise they will leak, I have four that come with the pourer spout (that leaks in not on tight)other than that i'm happy with them.
Happy travels,Shane
