A jerry can (also jerrycan) was originally a metal container for carrying extra diesel fuel or gasoline. The ones made by Germany in the 1930s held 20 liters, and British and US designs were typically 5 gallons (MIL-C-1283).

The term is now applied to any sealed metal or plastic container used for carrying liquids such as fuel or water.
