Subject: [canals-list] Jerry Can Usage
I received an email from a market research guy, asking my "opinion on the
extent of the usage of jerry cans by canal boaters, maybe as a means of
storing extra / emergency fuel?". The firm had "identified canal boating
as a potential user of these."
I never thought of running out of engine fuel as very likely on a
typical narrowboat, but having not (yet) been a boat owner, perhaps
I'm wrong about this. Or maybe there are other uses for jerry cans
aboard?
So -- opinions solicited, and I'll pass them along.

Absolutely essential if your boat is petrol powered.There are not enough petrol
stations near the canals to ensure that you can top up your tank when you
wish.I know the dangers but would prefer to use an ex WD "steel" jerry can
than some approved plastic toy. CKP
