Jerrycans in Malaysia: prices and buying guide

Updated 4 November 2026

Approximately, according to sellers' websites in November 2026, a jerrycan in Malaysia usually costs between RM 8 and RM 150 for a 5 to 20 litre can, and large 30 to 40 litre models cost several hundred ringgit. Prices vary with the material, the size and whether the can is meant for fuel or water. The fastest way to see current offers for your city is to create a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Sizes and what the price depends on

Prices in the listings range widely. Basic 5 litre cans start at about RM 8, while a 5 litre metal can with a holder is near RM 55. Ask for the material, the size and the purpose, then check whether a cap is included, since some listings are sold without a closure.

Safety rules to check first

Check the local rules before you buy. A search result on storing petrol says 20-litre jerry cans are illegal for home use, so confirm this before you buy a large can for the house. Some suppliers say their cans are UN-approved for hazardous materials, which matters if you carry fuel in the car.

Climate, units and delivery

Malaysia has no winter. It is hot all year, with wet and dry seasons instead, so demand for jerrycans does not follow a calendar peak. Wet weather is a good time to check caps and seals, because a metal can stored in a damp shed or boot is more likely to rust. Listings show sizes in litres, and one 10 litre can is also shown as 2.5 gallons, so compare on litres. Prices are per can. Ask each seller whether delivery to your city is included, whether the cap or spout is in the price, and whether the can is new. Tell them if you are in Kuala Lumpur, George Town, Johor Bahru, Ipoh or Shah Alam.

What to write in your request

Say the size you need, the material (plastic or metal), what it will hold (fuel, water or oil), how many cans, and whether you need a holder or spout. Add your city and budget. Stating these at the start saves a round of questions from sellers.

Describe the jerrycan in your own words in a chat on BlaBlaPrice, and add a photo if you have one. Buyers pay nothing to use it. BlaBlaPrice's AI reads your request, asks for missing details and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Malaysia, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own price, terms and delivery, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose to share them. If you also need storage, see car organisers, or read how BlaBlaPrice works.
