Wavian NATO-style 20L Jerry Can — Yellow steel, EPA & CARB compliant, bayonet spout

Wavian's authentic NATO-style 20 L (5 gallon) jerry can is a rust-resistant steel fuel container with a locking spout designed for safe, compliant storage and spill-free pouring.

Engineered from 0.9 mm cold-rolled steel and finished with an anti-corrosive coating, this Wavian jerry can mirrors the durable design used by NATO forces while meeting North American environmental standards (EPA & CARB). It combines a high-capacity metal body, a bayonet quick-release nozzle and safety lock, and certification details that make it legal and practical for storing gasoline or diesel for vehicles, generators, and equipment.

How does this jerry can keep fuel secure during transport?

The can's solid-metal construction, reinforced seams, and anti-corrosion finish resist dents and rust, reducing leaks over time. A bayonet-style quick-release spout with integrated safety lock prevents accidental openings, while the can’s shape nests securely for stacking and mounting during travel.

• 0.9 mm cold-rolled steel body for impact resistance
• Anti-corrosive coating to prevent rust and chemical breakdown
• Bayonet quick-release nozzle with a safety lock for spill prevention
• Flat, stable footprint designed for secure transport and stacking

Is this fuel can compliant with regulations and safe to use in North America?

Yes—Wavian’s jerry can carries both EPA and CARB compliance markings, including EO number G-26-143 and EPA number SGVYPMETALJC-001-R01, which indicate it meets regulatory testing for emissions and materials. Compliance means it can be legally used for fuel storage and transport in areas that require those certifications.

• EPA-certified construction suitable for regulated regions
• CARB-compliant for use where California standards are enforced
• Labeling and documentation included for verification

How easy is it to pour, fill, and maintain this jerry can?

The bayonet-style spout is designed for fast, controlled dispensing and snaps into place to prevent drips once removed. The wide filler opening simplifies refilling from pumps or larger containers, and the steel surface wipes clean easily; occasional inspection for seal condition keeps it performing long-term.

• Quick-release spout for controlled, splash-free pouring
• Wide-mouth filler reduces fuel transfer time and splashing
• Wipe-clean metal exterior; inspect seals periodically
• Compact handle layout for stable lifting and one-person use
