This 2.5-gallon steel safety can from Eagle Manufacturing stores kerosene safely on job sites and in facilities. The blue color coding follows industry standards for kerosene identification. Built from seamless 24-gauge hot-dip galvanized steel using a deep-drawn process, this Type I can weighs 5.7 pounds empty and holds up to 24 pounds when full. The 10-inch height and 11.25-inch outer diameter make it compact enough for storage cabinets while providing adequate capacity for quick fuel-ups.
The self-closing, leak-tested lid prevents spills even if dropped or knocked over. A non-sparking flame arrester absorbs heat to prevent ignition, while a nitrile gasket automatically releases vapors between 3-5 psi to prevent rupture. The comfort grip trigger handle reduces wrist strain during pouring. This can meets OSHA and NFPA 30 requirements, plus CARB compliance and New York City Fire Code Title 29. It carries UL listing and FM approval for flammable liquid storage.
Manufactured in Wellsburg, West Virginia, this safety can works well in maintenance shops, equipment yards, and industrial facilities where kerosene is used for heating or cleaning. The seamless construction eliminates leak points common in welded cans. Optional funnels are available to prevent spills when filling smaller tanks or equipment.
