Every fuel can we ship carries a Viton seal under the cap, so any part number on this page takes petrol, diesel or kerosene. The strap colour is an identification aid — it lets a crew tell contents apart at a glance — not a limit on what the can may hold. Where the strap matches the can colour (Field Drab, Sand), what goes in is the user's choice. Further strap colours are available on request.
