Twenty litres, with the spout attached where it belongs.

The spout

About 28 cm, flexible, kept ready on the can, held by a safety closure that stops it being lost.

That is the part that goes missing. A can without its spout gets used with a funnel and optimism, which is how fuel ends up on a driveway and in a drain. Attaching it is a decision that keeps paying for years.

The measurements

Overall 35 × 38 × 20 cm. Spout about 28 cm. Twenty litres maximum.

Three published figures — the external dimensions decide whether it fits the space in a boot, which is where a reserve can actually lives.

The approval

UN approval for transporting liquid dangerous goods. Made in Europe.

What it names

Petrol, diesel, AdBlue and oil, for cars, trucks, motorcycles and lawnmowers.

Worth one caution the listing does not give: one can should hold one fluid. AdBlue crystallises, and diesel contaminated with it is a very expensive morning.

And the two things absent

The polymer. “Plastic” covers several materials with different permeability to petrol vapour, and the can’s construction is not described further.

And static. Every can in this family is silent on it, and this is one of the five made of plastic.

Availability

Not one of the stores queried had a live offer when this page was compiled.

German and French Amazon catalogues carry an entry for it, with nobody selling.

American, British, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores returned nothing at all, so the buy button there runs a search instead of landing on an empty page.

These figures are what Keepa reported on the day this page was last updated. Availability and pricing move without notice.
