Technical Specifications

• Compatibility: Fits standard 5L, 10L, and 20L military-style metal jerry cans.
• Material: High-grade galvanized steel or powder-coated pressed steel.
• Nozzle Type: Flexible “gooseneck” or rigid spout with a tapered tip.
• Seal Material: Fuel-resistant Nitrile rubber gasket.
• Breather: Integrated internal ventilation pipe for smooth, rapid pouring.

Key Performance Features

• Leak-Proof Locking Mechanism: Features a heavy-duty “bayonet” style clip that locks onto the mouth of the jerry can. This ensures a vacuum-tight seal, preventing the diesel or petrol leaks that often occur with cheap plastic funnels.
• Flexible Pouring Angle: The “gooseneck” design allows you to reach difficult fuel tank inlets on high-clearance Pascali pumps or compact generators without tilting the heavy 20L can at an awkward angle.
• High-Flow Ventilation: The internal breather tube allows air to enter the can as fuel leaves, eliminating the “glugging” that causes splashing and wasted fuel on your Wildebees workwear.
• Integrated Mesh Filter: Most Kaufmann spouts include a fine internal brass or stainless steel gauze. This is a critical secondary defense against red Heidelberg dust and rust flakes entering your vehicle’s sensitive fuel system.
• Fuel-Resistant Coating: The spout is treated to resist corrosion from Petrol, Diesel, and Paraffin, ensuring it won’t flake or rust during the dry Winter 2026 months.

Professional Usage & Tips

• Gasket Inspection: Before use, ensure the black rubber gasket is seated flat inside the bayonet head. If the seal is cracked or compressed from the Gauteng heat, fuel will leak during the pour. Replace it with a Kaufmann spare immediately.
• The “Secure Lock”: When attaching the spout, ensure the locking lever is pushed all the way down until it “clicks.” A partially locked spout can blow off under the weight of the fuel, creating a fire hazard.
• Cleaning Protocol: After refueling, wipe the spout down with a Shield Microfibre Cloth before storage. This prevents red Heidelberg dust from sticking to the residual fuel on the nozzle, which would then be washed into your tank during the next use.
• Flow Direction: Always hold the jerry can with the spout at the top (highest point) when you start the pour. This allows the internal breather to work correctly and prevents the initial “surge” of fuel.
• Storage: Store the spout inside a clean Wildebees utility bag or a zip-lock bag when not in use. Keeping the tip clean is the easiest way to prevent injector clogs in your tractor or bakkie.

Common Use Cases

• Agricultural: Refueling tractors and harvesters in the field during the Easter 2026 harvest.
• Emergency Power: Safely filling generators during local power outages.
• Off-Roading: Topping up long-range fuel tanks on 4×4 trails through the Highveld.
• Gardening: Precise filling of lawnmowers and Talon power tools without spilling on the grass.

Pro Tip: If you are storing fuel for the upcoming Winter 2026 season, always keep the spout detached and use the original jerry can screw-cap for a 100% airtight seal. Only attach the Kaufmann spout when you are ready to pour. To keep the locking lever moving smoothly, apply a tiny drop of Shield Sheen Silicone to the pivot pins once every few months to prevent them from seizing in the dusty Heidelberg air.

Technical Specifications

• Capacity: 20 Litres.
• Material: 0.8mm High-grade cold-rolled steel.
• Finish: Powder-coated olive green or red (petrol/diesel specific).
• Interior: Fuel-resistant “alkyd-ammonia” red lining to prevent internal rust.
• Weight (Empty): Approximately 3.8kg.
• Dimensions: ~470mm (H) x 350mm (W) x 160mm (D).

Key Features

• Three-Handle Design: The traditional triple-handle system allows one person to carry two empty cans in one hand, or two people to share the load of a full 20L can using the outer handles.
• Bayonet Locking Pin: Features a secure, leak-proof bayonet closure with a locking pin. This ensures the cap cannot be accidentally vibrated open during transport on rough gravel roads.
• Fuel-Resistant Gasket: Equipped with a high-density rubber seal that remains flexible and leak-proof even when exposed to diesel, leaded, or unleaded fuels.
• Integral Breather Pipe: Includes an internal “breather” tube that allows air into the can as fuel pours out, ensuring a smooth, “glug-free” pour.
• Robust Seams: The seams are plasma-welded for maximum structural integrity, preventing leaks even if the can is dropped or subjected to heavy impacts.

Common Applications

• Agriculture: Fuel storage for tractors, generators, and water pumps in remote areas.
• Off-Road & 4×4: Long-range fuel backup for overlanding and bush travel.
• Industrial: Safe storage of flammable liquids on construction sites or in workshops.
• Emergency Services: Standard equipment for fire and rescue vehicles requiring portable fuel.

Usage & Safety Tips

• Fuel Color Coding: By industry standard, use Red for Petrol and Green for Diesel to prevent accidental engine damage.
• Expansion Space: Never fill the jerry can to the very top. Always leave at least 5% expansion room at the neck to allow for fuel expansion in high South African temperatures.
• Spout Selection: Use a dedicated MTS Flexible Metal Spout. These clip onto the bayonet mount and prevent spills while refilling equipment.
• Static Safety: When filling at a petrol station, always place the jerry can on the ground. Never fill it while it is inside a vehicle or on a plastic bakkie liner, as static electricity can cause a spark.
• Storage: Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to minimize internal pressure buildup.
