Lightweight jerry cans

Post by silverbullet »

I had a bit of a result today :D A local "pop-up" shop has been set up by a forces charity and they've got all manner of boy's toys and DPM clobber. Andy would love it! This caught my eye, very light and it's a long way from home... so I bought it.

Image

I dug out my little spring balance and it comes in at 4.5 lbs dry compared to a standard NATO steel one which is a shade under 9lbs :shock: Dead weight is dead weight and if you're carrying multiple cans then worth considering, but you'll need to mod your NATO filler neck as the claw has to be deeper (look closely)

A free lollipop for the first person to guess where it was made...

PS I may be able to get more, but it might take a while as there are 3rd parties involved.

There use to be a place in Northern Ireland making aluminium stuff like that but got bought out by Zarges but eventually closed.

They're not the British ones that everyone ditched because the Germans were so much better are they?

No correct answers so far! Design is near-identical to the Kraftstoff one standing behind, with the same overall dimensions to suit any NATO carrier, 20 litre capacity.

Consider the material used for its production... :wink:
