★ This jerrycan bracket is a reproduction of the original WWII model that was applied on numerous US military vehicles for safely carrying fuel and water supplies.
Application
This jerrycan holder was used during WWII on various military vehicles with 4x4 or 6x6 drive. Mounting took place at different locations: rear body, running boards (with or without adapter plate), or mudflaps. Suitable for all standard US military jerrycans of 20 litres (5 gallons) with screw-cap (fuel) or cam-lock cap (water).
Installation notes
The bracket is fixed to the body with bolts. Depending on the mounting location, an adapter plate may be required (for running board mounting). Before mounting, check that the bracket is sufficiently firmly anchored to bear the weight of a full jerrycan (approx. 19 kg for water, 14 kg for petrol). Ensure free access to the jerrycan for quick refuelling during operations.
Compatibility
This holder fits standard US military 20 litre (5 gallon) jerrycans as produced during and after WWII. Note: the US jerrycan has a different design from the German Wehrmacht-kanister (different spout, different dimensions). This bracket is NOT suitable for modern plastic jerrycans without modifications.
Historical context
The jerrycan and associated mounting brackets were essential for logistical operations during WWII. Particularly during the European campaigns, fuel supply was crucial — by May 1945, more than 19 million jerrycans were in use with US forces. The robust steel brackets had to withstand terrain conditions and the weight of full cans.
