Thread: Jerry can holder

This has always been something I wished to do because of the ease it would allow you to handle the jerry cans, perhaps sourcing of some perentie jerry can holders, they mount on to the back of the vehicle in a way which may allow some adjustment, just a thought. My solution however was to mount my jerry cans on the roof, I have four and keep my two water cans snugly behind my front passenger seat, alternatively if you could source a swing which already has one or two jerry can holders on it that could work.

That's an interesting idea. Does a tyre weigh less than a fuel can? I went with the swing arm as mine carries two jerry cans plus the spare wheel and it also takes the weight off the door. When I go bush for extended periods, a second spare goes on the roof in front of the Roof Top Tent.

I've got 4 jerries (10 litres each) that fit into a box that goes on the front of the roof rack. Box also contains a 5 litre engine oil, and 1 litre each of gear oil, atf and brake fluid, as well as the trusty grease gun, all packed in with rags. Only fill the fuel ones when needed, and use them as soon as I can. Helps move a little weight to the front axle as well.
