Yes they are heavy and awkward. I don't fill to the brim as it makes them easier to start pouring, 1 litre of petrol weights around 0.75kg so I'd say a nearly full can weights around 15kg gross

Gary the only problem with the full size jerry cans is they a quite heavy when full to hold up and fill things, dont want you hurting yourself.

And they take yonks (that's Shropshire for ages) to empty into a car/bike , don't like them myself.

Buy the half size ones. Much easier to carry and pour too. And the spout still fits!

Thing I've got 6 or 7 of them, not all are drilled, loads of interesting stuff really but no idea what most of it is off, brand new chrome Ford hub cap, just one, but the part number sticker is unreadable for instance.
Quite a few spotlamps, some quality 50s or 60s but most those plastic oblong ones that nobody wants. Couple of steel Jerry cans, carb and pancake filter off a Ford 1100 crossbow, 12v windscreen demister, rubber sucker to the windscreen, singer sewing machine, couple of parrifin tilly lamps....

Set it all out and take some photos, you may have some valuable stuff.

Maybe one day, always seem to be busy with other stuff nowadays..
@gstuart for some reason I can't get to the pm I sent you but i didnt get much sleep last night and ive got brain fog. Ive had a look at the jerry cans, one is fooked and got sludge stuff and rust inside, cap wont seal. The other looks ok inside, got a bit of liquid in it, think parrafin, pic of fooked one.
