Anyone know where I can get this around Dublin.
Around 2L flat and storeable....well exactly like the picture actually....

Most petrol stations sell the 5l cans for only a few Euro. Would it not be easier just to buy one of these if you run out? And I would hazard a guess a few would loan you a can if you're really stuck.

I've never seen them in any shop and I've only started seeing the 5l and 25l jerry cans in most places recently.

Wouldn't want a can of petrol on the back of a bike incase I fall off and carrying it empty is a bit pointless.

Jerry cans are made for carrying fuel and are impact tested, so i'd be more worried about the 11L tank between my legs
I'm looking for the small one for weight and space, 2L will get me a good bit - to safety anway....

Thanks anyway

Try petrol stations and Halfords!

Thats a plastic can not a steel one.
I doubt very much if that will be tested.
Hein Gericke sell those canisters.

They may be impact tested, but are they slide tested? Falling off a bike with one of them full of petrol is a much bigger risk then your tank. The tank is double sinked and made of metal. That's single skined and made of plastic. Even in a top box I'd still be worried about having any type of petrol container behind me if I fell off or crashed. It's an extra risk I wouldn't like to take.

OT rant

I hate websites that don't give prices. Defeats the purpose of looking on the net, and unless I couldn't get what I wanted anywhere else I wouldn't deal with them.

Kev, gearing up for Sunday? I'll bring some emergency fuel for ya!

Yeah sami, just kit'in out weather is looking grim though ....

Thanks for useful replies, and concerns for my safety i'll check out marine store.

That site is for industry...they rarely quote prices as price is done on case by case basis....depending on application and quantities
