Gas / jerry can color for E85?
After doing some research there doesn't seem to be a standard color for E85 storage. Red seems to be for gasoline, yellow for diesel, blue for kerosene, and green is "more generic then the other [colors], green cans are used for any and all mixed fuel," or simply "oils".
I am leaning towards yellow or green. Yellow is the standard color of E85 gas pump handles, as well as the color of corn, but also the standard color of diesel cans. Green is more generic for cans, but it is also the standard color of diesel gas pumps. Red could also work since E85 is still considered gas, but we have many red cans of 89 for the generator already. Regardless of the can color, we would still clearly label it. It's really not a big deal, but I'm planning on buying one or two NATO jerry cans, and I tend to keep good quality stuff for life. So I want to buy right the first time. What do you guys think, or use? ![]() |

I know yellow and blue are "taken" for diesel and kerosene, but at most of the new multi-fuel pumps, we are seeing yellow E85 handles and blue E15 handles. I voted yellow, as long as you are just trying to separate from E0-10 gas.

I suggest you just go with the Army olive drab and stencil "E-85" in big black letter/numbers on each side -

Go with yellow. I doubt you're dumb enough to pour diesel in.

At all of the gas stations around me with E85 and Diesel, the Diesel has a green pump, and E-85 has yellow. I wonder if it changes based on region? I'd match the can to the pump color you get it from.

It is a colour option that can not possibly be confused with any others. I have no experience with it but it is specifically made for high grade fuels.

I've used them. The great thing about this style can is pouring the fuel... just flip it upside down, crack the vent and fuel flows quickly into the tank. Mine were blue, however nothing but E85 ever went into them. |
