The name 'flimsy' was used to describe the four gallon petrol/kerosine tins that these products were supplied in back in the days before bulk handling. They were often pierced to drain the contents and discarded. They were a failure when it came to rough handling in the field.

The two gallon can was far more robust and made as a re-useable, long lived container for on board vehicle use so no surprise that they are still around today.

The word BREN is stencilled on the can above the number which seems to further identify the can as belonging to this vehicle.

Who among us would not carry extra fuel when in the field and there was no better container at the time except for those in the hands of the enemy.
