Choosing a supply method: jerrycan, barrel, IBC or bulk

Sample article shown for design review only.

The final solution depends on consumption rate, storage space, delivery frequency and the customer’s handling requirements.

  • 10-litre jerrycan: suitable for retail, workshops, individual vehicles and emergency stock.
  • 200-litre barrel and 1000-litre IBC tank: an option for fleets and sites with regular consumption, subject to availability.
  • Bulk supply: considered for high-volume customers with suitable storage arrangements.
  • Scheduled delivery: consumption-linked delivery planning to reduce shortages and overstocking.

Before choosing a method we review consumption patterns, fleet size, operating sites, existing storage capacity, and responsibilities for cleanliness and handling.
