    I already have a 5 l plastic type which is sturdy enough. But the pouring nozzle sucks.
    No proper sealing to the can and the nozzle itself no that flexible.
    Looking for a small one (<10l) that puts the fuel in the tank and not leak all over the bodywork

    A lot cheaper than an expensive fuel can and you’ll be able to stick with your current 5 litre one.

    I’ve got one similar to that in the picture. Has a metal gauze filter and the flexible hose unscrews off as needed

    I finally resolved the problem at source. Managed to find a suitable size O ring for the spout.
    Cost me £0.90 much cheaper if bought in bulk
    don't understand why it is not fitted to cans
