90 Years of Legend, Upgraded! Akinfuel Dual-Series Jerry Cans Set a New Benchmark for All-Round Fuel Storage

The Genius Design Born from War: The Origin Story of the Jerry Can

In 1937, to solve the logistical fuel supply challenges of the Blitzkrieg, Nazi Germany commissioned Müller Engineering to design the first military-grade explosion-proof fuel can—the Wehrmacht-Einheitskanister (German Defense Forces Standard Fuel Can), the original Jerry Can.

Back then, Allied forces still used flimsy, leak-prone tin cans. This 20-liter steel can revolutionized fuel storage with three game-changing features:

● Welded sealed structure: Cut fuel loss from 25% to 0 during rough desert transport in North Africa, eliminating leaks entirely.

● Three-handle integrated design: Easy for one person to carry, two to lift, and stable to stack—perfect for fast battlefield handling.

● Cross-embossed craft: Strengthened the can body and left space for liquid expansion and contraction.

The name Jerry came from the British nickname for German soldiers. After capturing the design in 1943, the Allies quickly copied it. This heavy-duty steel can became a critical logistical tool for WWII victory, used everywhere from the Normandy landings to Pacific island battles.

Dual-Series Innovation: Akinfuel Upholds Military Heritage, Redefining Modern Fuel Storage

After WWII, the classic Jerry Can design was adopted worldwide. Building on user needs, Akinfuel launches two lines—the 01 Basic Benchmark Series and 02 All-Star Upgrade Series—to fit diverse demands.

◆ 01 Series: Core Safety Model, Solid Fundamental Protection

● Patented leak-proof tech: Self-developed auto-shutoff nozzle stops fuel when full; dual-position design supports refueling at any angle. Built-in air vent boosts fuel flow by 30%, no more spills.

● Triple international certifications: Meets Australian AS/NZS 2906:2001, UN UN3H1 transport standards, and ISO8317:2015 child-resistant packaging requirements.

● Industrial-grade durable material: Made of HDPE with UV stabilizers via blow molding. Double-cut bottom prevents cracking outdoors; corrosion- and impact-resistant for harsh environments.

● All-scenario compatible: 5L/10L/20L sizes. Sleek body fits most standard metal mounts, perfect for ATVs, diesel generators, lawn mowers, and more.

◆ 02 Series: 6 Upgraded Features, All-Round Enhanced Experience

● Visible, easy operation: Added transparent fuel level window to check fuel without opening the can. Ergonomic side handle makes carrying and refueling easier.

● Double structural strength: Unique U-shaped groove boosts impact resistance by 50% and simplifies securing for stable outdoor transport.

● Faster refueling: Optimized top air vent increases flow by another 30%. Dual-position nozzle opens with a press and resets automatically—no learning curve.

● Retained core strengths: Keeps 01 Series child safety lock, UV-resistant HDPE, and double-cut bottom. Fully certified and compliant with ISO 9001/14001/45001 and BSCI factory standards.
