Agriculture / unit of measure
English term or phrase: jerrican/petrol can
I'd appreciate assistance in translation of Jerrican/Petrol Can into Swedish. I thought it's better to ask native speakers than consult a dictionary as it'll be listed on an official UoM list on the supplier website and needs to be accurate.

Many thanks for your answers in advance.
