A '''fuel container ''' is a [[container]] such as a [[can]], [[bottle]], [[Drum (container)|drum]], etc for transporting, storing, and dispensing various [[fuel]]s.
== Construction ==
A wide variety of container types and constructions are used for fuels. Each has its own engineering challenges.
The [[jerrycan]] a robust liquid container made from pressed steel. It was designed in Germany in the 1930s for military use to hold 20 litres (4.4 imp gal; 5.3 US gal) of fuel. It is still in use today. Three [[package handle|handle]]s allow for two people carrying a full can or one person handling an empty can.
==Regulations==
Shipments of flammable or explosive liquids are highly regulated. Based on the [[UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods]] model regulations, each country has coordinated design and performance requirements for shipment. For example, in the US, the Department of Transportation has jurisdiction and published requirements in [[Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations]].
