The Jerrycan of Gas is a large metal fuel container for carrying gasoline. It holds twice as much as a Gas Can, so it covers longer trips between fill ups.
The jerrycan usually turns up already full of gasoline. It counts as survival gear. It is heavier than a Gas Can, which makes it better suited to a trunk than a backpack.
Fuel decides how far any vehicle can go. A full jerrycan in the trunk puts a large share of a car's tank back in one go. For a group that travels far from its base, it is one of the most valuable things to carry. The Mechanic is the best occupation for vehicle maintenance. It starts with the most Mechanics skill.
How to Use Jerrycan of Gas
A Jerrycan of Gas pours gasoline into a vehicle's gas tank in the same way as a Gas Can. Its larger load means fewer trips back to a pump or a parked car to refill.
The bigger size also suits a base that runs on a generator. One jerrycan keeps a generator going longer than a single small can.
An empty jerrycan is refilled at a working gas pump or by siphoning fuel from another vehicle. Once the power goes out, siphoning becomes the main way to fill it.
The extra weight is the main trade off. A full jerrycan adds much more to a survivor's load than a light can does. Leaving it in the trunk until it is needed is the easy habit.
Notes
- The jerrycan carries twice the fuel of a Gas Can.
- It is heavier, so the trunk is the best place to keep it.
- It refuels vehicles and generators alike.
- Siphoning from parked cars refills it once the pumps go dark.
