Did you wish you had stocked up more on that 7/11 fuel lock deal while you merely topped up your 50L tank, wasting 100 of $ worth of savings unlike that guy

Do you think it's time you lift up your doomsday prepping game?

Well, fear not, here is your chance to be ready.

You can even choose between 2 colours, oh boy.

2 * 20L Jerry can for $40, usually $23.99 each, which is an incredible additional savings of $7.98. the gift that keeps giving!

Enjoy.
Note: I'm not a fuel specialist, hence have no idea how long you can keep the fuel in the tank, but I'm sure that question will be debated in the comments.

Note2: can stack up with the free $10 which expires on 9/03

      These Scepter are the best. They are fatter and more stable in the boot. Plus have an awesome pouring spout that is kept neatly inside. It also has a breather hole, so when pouring fuel it is much faster.

      Great price, thanks for the heads up! I have two and they're much better than the bunnings adventure product. Going to get another.

    I use 2x of these same 20L jerry cans as spare fuel which I fill up when fuel is cheaper. They actually can hold 25L when near full. Massive warning though from personal experience, only use one of these in your car when your car tank is less than half empty - otherwise you will risk overfilling your tank which can damage your engine and vapor filters - trust me I learnt the hard way (caused a breakdown and tow truck needed). There's nothing to stop you pouring too much in, unlike the auto-stop mechanism the bowser pump has. If it overflows out that is a sure sign it's been overfilled. These storage cans are a good idea for bargainers, but like I said beware not to overfill your fuel tank!

    • Logical on 07/03/2022 - 20:08

      What car have you got that you damaged via overfilling? I have had no such problem and always fill up till I see the fuel a few cm's below the top of the filler pipe.

    • spaceflight on 07/03/2022 - 23:20

      overfilling your tank which can damage your engine

      No it can't

      • USER DC on 10/03/2022 - 23:56

        I agree it wont damage engine, (unless you are dump enough to fill the car with wrong fuel, like u91 is u98 car, or u91 in diesel car) the fuel will just overfill, and start to come out of the gas filling nozzel. Anyway I am not saying overfilling fuel is a okay thing. It is bad, not only for $, but for risk of fire, and damage to your car, and its fuel pump etc.

        You should always look at your gas nozzel in car's dash to get rough estimate how much gas you need to fill up, e.g. you car has 60 L tank, and its half full ish, you should not really pour more than 27L worth of fuel (so any jerry can less than 25L is good for that job). On other hand e.g. your car has 40 L tank, and half full, dont fill car with more than 15 L of fuel, put markings with sharpie or something on jerry can, so get rough estimate.

        • krisspy on 11/03/2022 - 22:38

          Wish my car had an accurate gauge, needle doesn't move until 1/3rd of the fuel is gone. It moves faster than the rpm gauge at that point.

      • meowsers on 11/03/2022 - 17:53

        It will cause the charcoal canister to fill with fuel in some circumstances. This will then require replacement at considerable expense.

    • Phreebee on 07/03/2022 - 23:40

      This issue doesn't affect all makes and models so check your car's manual. If it explicitly warns not to "top off" the tank like mine does (found this little gem of info too late) then don't over fill it.

    How long does unleaded 91 last in these Jerry cans

    • MikeKulls on 08/03/2022 - 09:24

      Out of the sun and heat probably a couple of years. Many people will say shorter but to get fuel to go off does take quite a long time

      • USER DC on 11/03/2022 - 00:02

        Mate the fuel you are buying is itself thousands of years old at very least, no gasoline is generated freshly.

        • spaceflight on 11/03/2022 - 18:22

          Mate the fuel you are buying is itself thousands of years old at very least

          No it isn't.

          no gasoline is generated freshly.

          Yes it is.

          There are no wells of 91, 95, 98 octane and diesel deep under the ocean that are pumped up that then goes to in our cars.

      • naruto128 on 11/03/2022 - 11:21

        What about E10? Read they go off after 3 months. This true?

      • spaceflight on 11/03/2022 - 18:26

        It also depends on the type of container it is stored in.

        According to the people who make it

        Petrol in sealed containers The storage life of petrol is one year when stored under shelter in a sealed container. Once a seal is broken the fuel has a storage life of six months at 20°C or three months at 30°C. Petrol in equipment tanks The storage life of petrol in equipment fuel tanks is one month.

      For max lifetime, use fuel preserver and you have to fill it up to brim, no air inside, then store in a cool weather protected area away from a lot of heat cool cycles which would mean at a bare minimum the garage but that is unsafe so next best place is the garden shed away from the main house dwelling.

      You can always mix it up, aka just fill car with less than half a tank from jerry cans, and half or more with fresh fuel from gas station. It will mix up, and be just fine. (But probably you shouldn't be needing to store fuel for any longer than 6 months, like why would you not use fuel for 6 months? just use it first before paying at pump, simple)

    Read the reviews on these. I was looking at this deal the other day and decided against buying them.

  • ialam99 on 07/03/2022 - 23:04

    Apprantly these fit perfectly in the frunk of a tesla

    Cheaper on FB marketplace. Just search Jerry Can and they're between Free to $5 for 20L

  • Yo1111 on 08/03/2022 - 17:04

    Those who have rewards from commbank, spend $60 get $10 cashback and $10 credit from email, can get 4 jerry can for $60.
    Not bad…I have both petrol and diesel car

    • ShouldIBuyIt on 08/03/2022 - 17:06

      I need a CommBank card, missing out on too many offers. Have they done a $100 cashback on sign up recently?

  • USER DC on 10/03/2022 - 23:48

    Would strongly be needing to fill up fuel whenever cheap (<$2) better to pay $20 for a jerry can than to pay on more expensive fuel.
