Thread: 20l Water Jerries

I got my last ones ( Rheem brand I think ) at Bunnings, but they chop and change their suppliers.

Aussie Disposals should stock them.
I'm sure I've seen them in SuperCheep Auto too.
Forget Ray's Outdoors they only have cheap rubbish nowadays.

Stainless Steel Jerry Can - Bushranger

Dave.

These are available from BCF & Autobarn.
I'll be using one for Water from new, who cares?
But I better texta WATER on it first.

I find the ex army water jerrys are hard to beat.
I have one marked 1972 and is still going strong.
The newer army ones are not as thick is the very early ones.
Lotzalandies put me onto a good local supplier of new unused army jerrys marked 2006 from a place in Nowra called jennings Mc Donald for $22.50 each.
my army ones are mounted to the sides of verious vehicles left out in the sun for years without effects.
The only fault I can find with the army ones is the caps can split with hard use.
They also seem to have little bad taste effect on the water stored inside them.

Thanks fellas, those stainless ones look good, but a tad expensive

holy mazoly. yes.

I understand from the local ARB people (Canberra) that Bushranger are no longer making/importing the ss jerry cans. They had to get me one down from Brisbane. They are expensive but, hey, if I was prepared to settle for second best, I'd be driving a Tojam instead of a Defender.
