I used to work at a gas station decades ago that charged $20 for the 1 gallon Jerrycans. It was really rough anytime I had to sell one, because the only people who need them are already desperate. Anytime I was working alone I would give them away.

A great history lesson about the design, failings, and shortages of fuel containers, through the 20th century.

We will need one or two Jerry Cans for the Tanami Road, next week.

Still in use today! I want a couple of modern jerrycans, just can't afford it right now.
