FuelFriend, the smallest jerry can on the market, which is compatible with fuel nozzles!

We’re way in the season! Many scooterists are currently on their way to the Vespa World Days in Saint Tropez / southern France. Next year the distance will be shorter for those Vespa fans coming from Germany. Vespa World Days 2017 will take place in Celle / Germany.

No matter where to, a scooter tour with friends always is great fun. And the perfect equipment adds to the fun and makes the journey also a lot safer!

Transport luggage on a Vespa

Packing correctly is crucial. You should tighten your luggage as central and securely as possible to your scooter. Best would be a bag, which lasts at least as long as your Vespa: the SEA’N’SAND T-Bag Vespa travel bag.

Increase the range of your Vespa

Have you ever had a breakdown due to an empty tank? Our loved scooters often don’t have the largest range, which might be even less after some tuning. We therefore recommend: the durable and safe mini fuel reserve, which also fits in the smallest luggage or helmet box! The scooter jerry cans with 1, 2 or 3 liters volume fit in the glove box of a Vespa PX, T5, etc. See pictures:

Large jerry cans for garage, car and racing

We offer 1 litre, 2 and 3 litres transportable jerry cans and every scooterist should have one of these, combined with the tool kit, in or attached to the scooter. But we also offer a large variety of high quality jerry cans by Hünersdorff “made in Germany”, which are suitable to place in a service car or in the garage. All jerry cans are equipped with a child safety catch, made from high quality HDPE with UN approval according to ADR/GGVSEB for dangerous goods transport.

Standard 5 litres jerry can “made in Germany” in two versions

We offer the 5 litres jerry can in two versions. One with a normal red snorkel – and one with two snorkels.

With two snorkels you will be on the save side:

red snorkel: for low-octane petrol or super vehicles and
the second black snorkel: for diesel vehicles with misfuelling protection.

Misfuelling protection?

Some have never heard of this before. Just like us, when we wanted to fuel our Scooter-Center-van from the jerry can for the first time and the “bloody red snorkel” wouldn’t fit. Newer diesel vehicles with misfuelling protection need this snorkel, which is round, with a diameter of exactly 26mm. This size is the only one that guarantees, that the fuel stop on the filler neck of the vehicle will be pushed away in order to fill in diesel.

10 and 20 litres jerry cans

We offer the 10 and 20 litres jerry can in two colours:

benzinkanister-auto-werkstatt-3

benzinkanister-auto-werkstatt-6

Please note: The olive green jerry can comes with snorkels for LOW-OCTANE PETROL. Despite the colour black you can only use them for low-octane petrol or super and they won’t work for diesel vehicles with misfuelling protection.

Discharge pipe for diesel vehicles

Do you need a snorkel (discharge pipe/spout/fuel filler) with misfuelling protection for diesel vehicles? We recommend this special diesel-snorkel:

Drain pan

The drain pan, with a volume of 8 litres and “made in Germany” by Hünersdorff, is a reasonable add-on to your garage. The drain pan is made from HDPE and is perfect for your garage and hobby mechanics. The drain pan has a filling volume of 13,8 litres and a nominal volume of 8 litres. It is resistant to oil, diesel, petrol and diluted acids

Jerry can for scooters

Hünersdorff “Fuel Friend” transportable jerry cans 1 litre, 2 litres and 3 litres with fuel filler for all petrol nozzles. All of these fit in the glove box of a Vespa.

vespa-motorroller-reservekanister_1-scooter-center

Summertime is the time to travel. Have you ever been in that situation, fearing that the petrol left in your tank won’t last until the next petrol station? Have you even ever had a breakdown due to an empty tank? We know this problem and therefore searched for a solution – and found it:

Today we would like to introduce a reasonable add-on to your tool kit:

Extremely handy transportable jerry cans

Our Hünersdorff jerry cansMade in Germany can usually be filled with a petrol nozzle at the petrol station and have a volume of 1 litre, 2 litres or 3 liters, which comes with the certainty to get to the next opened petrol station.

1 litre jerry can

The 1 litre Fuel Friend is equipped with two very handy flaps at the sides, in order to attach the jerry can safely to the scooter. For a Vespa or Lambretta this happens for example under or on the seat, for a Vespa GTS or Gilera Runner in the luggage box or, according to the type of scooter, the jerry can can be attached under the fairing or to the frame. Thanks to the flaps there are no limits to your creativity.

Very sturdy jerry cans

All FuelFriend cans are very sturdy – a double skin makes it feel like a jerry can from the petrol station but not to be compared in quality. vespa-motorroller-reservekanister_2-scooter-center

2 litre jerry can

We offer two different 2 litre jerry cans:

Fuel Friend 2 liter jerry can

This transportable jerry can has a large mouth and can be filled with petrol nozzles at the petrol station.vespa-motorroller-reservekanister_3-scooter-center

Hünersdorff 2 litre jerry can with integrated spout

This standard Hünersdorff jerry can does not have a large mouth and has to be filled by the help of a funnel. But something special is hidden beneath its small cap: If you detach the cap, you will find a small snorkel. You pull this integrated spout out of the can, which enables you to cleanly fill your tank with petrol.

The Hünersdorff 2 litre jerry can also has a flap to securely attach it to the scooter. Which is missing for the 2 litre “Fuel Friend”.

3 litre jerry can

The 3 litre transportable jerry can is traditionally shaped. Even this three litre jerry can can still be fitted in the glove box of a Vespa PX EFL or LML Star. You have to place it vertically – the can won’t leak and on a long ride out three liters of additional petrol really calm you down!

Jerry can in the Vespa glove box

Here you can see some pictures of fitting a jerry can and a can of oil in a Vespa PX EFL / T5. 1/2/3 litre jerry can, 1 litre oil and the tool kit easily fit in.

Handy add-on

This isn’t meant to be a “Do you also need a leather care product for your new shoes? – trick”: It really is a helpful and handy add-on to your jerry can.

Safety fuel filler

The safety fuel filler, or to put in in the words of Hündersdorff “filling system for fuel”, fits all standard Hünersdorff jerry cans from 1 to 20 litres.vespa-motorroller-reservekanister_10-scooter-center

Safe and clean thanks to automatic ventilation

It’s annoying when the mix of petrol and oil drops next to the tank! This is not only an ecological and economic waste, but also harms the paint of the scooter. Using the safety fuel filler for jerry cans puts an end to this.

There is an easy explanation: The fuel filler is equipped with an automatic ventilation. A feature you know from racing: Turn the can around and it won’t leak. Only when you push the fuel filler on the tank, the lid will open and petrol is being filled in the tank. When you stop putting pressure on the filler, the jerry can is sealed and won’t leak.

vespa-motorroller-reservekanister_13

The air used for ventilation flows through a central opening, while the petrol runs into the tank through openings at the sides. When reducing pressure, a rubber seal will prevent further drops.

Jerry cans for more than 3 litres
