Pressol
Plastic and metal
The documented range used here includes PE fuel cans and classic sheet-steel cans in several capacities. Spout concepts vary by model.
Compare manufacturers and designs
Fuel can buying guides
Start with the capacity you actually need, then compare filled weight, storage space, material, closure and the spout required for the receiving opening. The product data below come from manufacturer documentation rather than a house ranking.

STANDARD, COMPACT and PROFI
The selected HDPE ranges differ in empty weight, shape and the way the spout is supplied or stored.
VALPRO
Classic metal cans
The Classic range provides another metal reference in 5, 10 and 20 litres with documented product numbers and UN markings.
No brand ranking: the number of models shown is not a quality score. Products are included when the manufacturer documentation is clear enough to support a useful comparison.
