Jerrycans in Singapore: prices, sizes and what to check

Updated 4 November 2026

A plastic jerrycan in Singapore costs roughly S$3 to S$19 for a can of 5 to 25 litres, and about S$40 to S$60 for a 20-litre fuel can. These are approximate prices, according to sellers' websites, November 2026. For prices that match your size and use today, describe the can in a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Food grade, fuel and what to check on the label

Many listings say food grade, and that matters if the can will hold drinking water or cooking oil. Food-contact material rules in the Asia-Pacific region depend on the jurisdiction, so ask the seller which standard the can meets rather than relying on the words alone. Some listings also name a DIN 45 model, a German jerrycan standard, which tells you about the construction and neck. For petrol, choose a can sold as a fuel can and check that the closure seals tightly.

Singapore's heat and the wetter months

Singapore is hot all year, with wet and dry seasons instead of winter and summer, so there is no cold-weather peak for cans. November falls in the wetter part of the year. Keep cans out of direct sun in a shaded spot, because heat softens cheap plastic over time, and a loose lid lets rain and damp in. If you store water for the rainy weeks, one tight-sealing 10 or 20-litre can is more practical than several small bottles.

Sizes, used cans and delivery

Listings run from 1 litre to 25 litres, so ask for the litre size, the metric unit used here, rather than a product name. Used cans are also sold: a 10-litre unwashed can was listed at S$2.50, against about S$4.35 for a 10-litre folding can. Say in your request whether a used can is acceptable. Name your area too, for example Tampines, Jurong West, Woodlands or Ang Mo Kio, and ask for the total in S$ including delivery, because the price shown may not include it.

What to write in your request

Give the litre size, the material (HDPE plastic or a fuel can), what it will hold (water, cooking oil, petrol or chemicals), whether it must be food grade, and whether a used can is fine. Add how many you need, whether you want a cap or spout included, your delivery area and your budget in S$. A photo of the old can's neck and lid helps sellers match the closure size.
