I am using a similar one on my jeep, the first type I had was scratched as soon as you looked at it. :?

PM sent Steve

I think mine is in a British OD not sure, but then being as it came from the Swiss last, it could be any colour I suppose, I am not trying to be exact here just would like a nice colour

So called 'jerrycans' were originally an Italian design picked up by the Germans and then by the British to replace the awful 2 and 4 gallon 'flimsies' used in the early war years.

The British and Germans used the clamp top and when the Yanks got in on the act they used the screw top. A spout is available for both types but are not interchangeable.

It is OK to use any type of can on any vehicle as cans of any manufacture were used by all the combatants. This is a massive subject to study all on its own.

 

So if I read this correct, a clamp type one which I assume as "modern" is Ok to use on a WW2 vehicle ??

David have a look here mate

Ones older than the other.

Just leaving 8-)

:oops:

Cheers I do not intend to put the tub back without these just wondered the reason behind them, makes sense.

Thank you Clive nice bit of information.

HI

Can any of you knowledgable people tell me the correct paint for a 1944 GMC 353 please, would like to get the correct colour if I can, and if possible the number for it.

Thank you

Hi All

When I stripped my jeep down I found pieces of rubber between the tub and chassis, these are approximately 1/4" thick, now why do they put these in and are they really necessary ?

Thanks

Standard military one will do as used now

More than likely stupid question, but is a military jerry can 20L or 25L capacity.

Thanks in advance
