Posted on 12 November 2026

Looking for a sturdy and reliable jerrycan for storing and transporting fuels or other liquids?
Discover the new range of steel jerrycans at Galico! With three different capacities, multiple colours, and a wide selection of practical accessories, you will find a suitable solution for every application.

​

Why choose a steel jerrycan?

Whether you need fuel for your lawnmower, want to top up machines in the workshop, or need to transport liquids: a sturdy jerry can is always useful.

The new steel jerrycans from Galico combine a robust construction with a practical and user-friendly design.

What makes these jerrycans so handy?

  • Extra strong powder-coated steel: a robust version with a protective coating.
  • Safety cap with locking pin: ensures a reliable seal and helps prevent unwanted opening.
  • Sturdy handle: makes carrying and moving easy.
  • Various sizes: available in 5, 10, and 20 litres.
  • Colour recognition: helps to easily distinguish between different liquids.

A practical solution for use in the garage, workshop, garden or on the go.


Jerrycans and their colours: how does that work exactly?

Did you know that the different colours of jerrycans serve more than just an aesthetic purpose? Colours are often used to distinguish between different liquids more easily. Although there is no universal colour code, certain colours are often associated with specific liquids.

Within the new range from Galico, the following colour classification is applied:

  • 🟨 Yellow – Diesel: for storing and transporting diesel.
  • ⬛ Black – Various fuels: a versatile choice for diverse fuel applications.
  • 🟦 Blue – Water: use for applications with water.
  • 🟥 Red – Petrol: for petrol, for example for garden machinery or other petrol-powered devices.
  • 🟩 Green – Oil: for storing and transporting oil.

Why is colour recognition so useful?

When you use multiple jerrycans, for example in a workshop or garage, you can instantly see which liquid belongs in each one thanks to the colour. This provides better clarity and helps prevent mistakes when refilling.

Good to know: the colour of a jerrycan helps you easily distinguish between different liquids. Always choose a jerrycan that is suitable for the liquid you want to store or transport. For drinking water, it is important that the jerrycan is specifically suitable for contact with drinking water.
