Fuel Canister EDA 019161 R SX10 — Plastic 10 L, certified for hydrocarbons

Plastic fuel canister EDA 019161 R SX10 is a single-piece, 10-litre container designed and tested for use with hydrocarbons. The canister is made from durable plastic and includes a secure closure to limit spills and reduce vapour release during transport and short-term storage. Its compact shape and integrated handle make it practical for use with boats, garden equipment, portable generators and as an emergency reserve for vehicles or machinery.

Advantages

The one-piece plastic construction provides chemical compatibility with common hydrocarbons and reduces the risk of leaks at seams. A secure screw closure minimises accidental spills and helps contain vapours, while the 10 L capacity offers a balance between portability and useful fuel volume. The canister is lightweight compared with metal alternatives and resists corrosion and denting under normal use.

Suitable for

• Supplementary fuel for small boats and marine equipment
• Refuelling garden machinery such as lawnmowers and hedge trimmers
• Portable generators and temporary power supplies
• Emergency fuel reserve for vehicles and outdoor activities

When it may not be suitable

This plastic canister is intended for transport and temporary storage of hydrocarbons and not for long-term underground or prolonged on-site storage where regulations require certified stationary tanks. It may not be suitable for fuels or additives that are not hydrocarbon-based or for use where specific metal containers are mandated by local regulations.

Key specifications

• Material: single-piece durable plastic
• Capacity: 10 litres
• Designed for: hydrocarbons (fuels)
• Closure type: secure screw cap to reduce spills and vapours
• Form factor: compact with integrated handle for carrying

How to use

Before first use, inspect the canister and closure for visible damage. Fill the canister on a stable, well-ventilated surface and avoid overfilling; leave space for vapour expansion. Tighten the screw cap securely after filling. When pouring, use a suitable spout or funnel and keep the canister level to reduce splashing. Store the canister upright in a ventilated, cool location away from direct sunlight, heat sources and open flames. Follow local regulations for transport and storage of fuel containers.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended fuel type: suitable for hydrocarbon fuels only
• Required capacity: 10 litres may be insufficient for prolonged operations
• Local regulations: check regional rules for transport and storage of portable fuel containers
• Need for additional accessories: spout or funnel for easier pouring

Usage recommendations

Use the canister only for approved hydrocarbon fuels, keep it upright during transport, inspect periodically for damage, and replace if the closure or body shows signs of wear. Dispose of residues and empty canisters according to local environmental regulations.
