Proper Care for Metal Jerry Cans

Metal Jerry Cans should be stored in well ventilated, dry areas out of direct sunlight.
The seal on a Jerry Can lid and Jerry Can Pourer are consumable parts and should be inspected regularly and replaced when signs of wear or cracking appear.
The Powder Coated outer lining can be scratched or scuffed from contact with hard surfaces and should be cleaned off and touched up when found to prevent the steel underneath from exposure and eventually corrosion from forming.
Severe dents caused by excessive impact can damage the inner enamel lining with splits allowing the exposure of the steel inside the can. While the steel wall of the can will remain intact, the inner lining separation may lead to corrosion build up over time and replacement of the Jerry Can is recommended.
The tines should be lubricated with small amounts of grease to minimise contact with the winglets causing the removal of powder coat. This will also reduce the resistance from pressure when opening and closing the lid.
