Fuel Canister EDA 019160 R SX10 — Plastic 5 L, Tested for Hydrocarbons

The EDA 019160 R SX10 plastic fuel canister is a 5-litre single-piece container designed and tested for use with hydrocarbons. Its durable plastic construction provides a lightweight solution for short-term storage and transport of petrol and similar liquid fuels, suitable for household, garden and workshop tasks where a compact, tested fuel container is required.

Advantages

The canister’s one-piece plastic design reduces the risk of leaks and simplifies handling while keeping overall weight low. Hydrocarbon testing confirms compatibility with petrol and similar fuels for short-term use, and the 5 L capacity balances portability with useful fuel volume. Its robust material resists common mechanical stresses encountered during everyday transport and storage.

Suitable for

• Refuelling lawn mowers, garden equipment and small engines
• Short-term transport and storage of petrol for household or workshop needs
• Carrying a compact reserve of fuel for small vehicles, generators or machinery

When it may not be suitable

This canister is intended for short-term storage and transport of hydrocarbons and is not designed as a permanent storage solution for long-term fuel ageing or extended outdoor exposure. It may not meet specialized requirements for commercial bulk transport, hazardous materials regulatory containers, or uses that mandate metal fuel tanks or certified long-term storage systems.

Key specifications

• Material: single-piece durable plastic
• Capacity: 5 litres
• Designed and tested for hydrocarbons such as petrol
• Compact, lightweight construction for easy handling

How to use

Fill the canister on a stable, level surface and avoid overfilling; leave some space to allow for thermal expansion. Securely close the cap before transporting and ensure the vent (if present) is set according to the manufacturer’s instructions. When pouring, use a suitable spout or funnel to reduce spillage and perform transfers in a well-ventilated area away from ignition sources. Store the canister upright in a cool, shaded place and follow local regulations for storage and disposal of fuels.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: short-term transport and storage of petrol and similar hydrocarbons
• Capacity needs: 5 L may be insufficient for larger equipment or extended use
• Storage conditions: designed for temporary storage, not long-term fuel ageing
• Regulatory requirements: may not satisfy commercial hazardous-transport or long-term storage regulations

Usage recommendations

Use the canister only with compatible hydrocarbons, always handle fuel outdoors or in well-ventilated areas, avoid exposure to heat and direct sunlight, and inspect the container for damage before each use. Dispose of residual fuel and damaged containers in accordance with local environmental and safety rules.
