Dallas contacted me about Jerry Cans yesterday. I told him I didn’t know much about them. However, I did locate some interesting sites related to them. I figured some of you might find the sites handy, too.

  1. This site provides some help identifying Jerry Cans: ww2 jerry gerry cans
  2. This French site has some interesting history: http://sdkfz7.free.fr/ejerrycan.htm
  3. Olive-Drab has some information: http://olive-drab.com/od_mvg_jerry_can_markings.php
  4. And of course, Wikipedia has some information: Jerrycan – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mark found this jewel of a PDF at Roscommonequipment.com. We’ve seen a few of these fire jeeps for sale over the years. This document provides some insights into how the pumps work and the type of modifications that were added. The document contains instructions, specifications and detailed drawings.

You can see the whole PDF here: http://www.roscommonequipmentcenter.com/Project%204_Jeep%20Tanker%20Handbook.pdf
