Jerry Cans - The belly of the Automobile

True adventure is in the journey. Ever since the dawn of humankind, we have travelled. In the beginning, it was for survival; following game and the seasons. And later, it was for exploration - of new lands and greener pastures. But one thing that all successful nomadic communities and even species have had in common was effective fuel storage systems. From the Dromedaries & the Camels in the arid Sahara, to the fat-layered Orcas in the Inuit Arctic, the successful nomadic animals have always had reliable fuel-can systems that they evolved over the millennia. Except us humans. Us, on the other hand, were not satisfied with our short term reserves of fat and water. Our ambitious goals needed much more than what our biology could hold. Hence, we became tool makers & invented the first of the fuel cans; the goat skin sack. Slowly but surely, evolution occurred outside of our bodies & the industrial revolution lead to metal fuel tanks. Petrol & Diesel Cans that would be hanging off of the backs of Military vehicles crossing over almost impossible terrain while being self sufficient for weeks or more at a stretch. It is this prudence to store for future use that makes exploration possible.

 

The same prudence that has our spacecrafts leaving the Solar system as we speak. And the same prudence that may save lives or help us reach home safely for the dark of the night. The concept of an external fuel-can (or a Jerry Can, as it is also known) can be considered both a very basic & essential necessity, while also being a worry-reducing luxury - especially in the world of off-roading & wilderness exploration on 4X4s. The models available today have evolved over more than a century of slow and calculated upgrades. Take for example the ProQuip line of Fuel-cans. Used by everyone from the Dakar Rally, Raid D' Himalaya, to the Rainforest Challenge, the ProQuip Cans offer a wide range of sizes, materials, and colours to choose from that would fit almost any need. Be it Petrol, Diesel, or even drinking water (yes, there's a food grade water storage module that makes life in the outdoors so much more practical), their award winning & world-record setting design is practically unbeaten in the market. The most practical accessory is the one that extends the range of the journey. A fuel can is as practical as it gets. Equip your vehicle with an effective fuel storage system and continue Humanity's long held tradition of exploration. Check out the full range of ProQuip products here for 4X4s and Motorcycles.
