Genuine Nissan jerry can

[bauer]

Gday all
Does anybody have any info regarding Nissan Jerry can. Picked one up at the tip in good nick but cant find anything about them. Has a screw on cap which itself has a screw on lid, plastic spout inside the can also ( like the plastic jerry cans with the yellow spout thing). Has all the stickers on it showing how to store in bracket and how to use the spout etc.
Any info would be helpful -
Thanks for thast
Tony

Great find :)

[bauer]

Gday Thanks for the reply. will try and work out how to put some pics on tonight after work ( might have to get the ten year old to help).
I've got a GQ but don't think these were made for them ? G60 or earlier.
Has a sticker with the bracket it sits in and all.
Is there any websites that might have what vehicle it comes from and where the bracket goes .
Would love to put it on the GQ somewhere.
Thanks again
Tony

I can only remember the Mitsubishi Jerry can with screw lid RRP was $250.
But a bloody good jerry can as mentioned cant remember nissan one.
Another Tip chook, cant do that at my tip but another close by has a "TIP SHOP"
plenty of bargains there.

Possible to put some pics up please

That style jerry was an option on 83-84ish Pajero's ,
Pricewise they were $250 I know that as I wanted one
and looked it up. Can't remember seeing them on Nissans
If any I'd say the G60 with the bolt on swing away frame
some had, maybe even early leaf wagons.
Cant read pics but does it have Nissan reference on sticker??

Gday all , there is a Nissan symbol top left corner on the pic with the sticker " FUEL 20L - Danger Fire Prohibited". I cant find any other markings , number etc anywhere. My brother had a couple of G60's years ago and i seem to remember some sort of a carrier for a jerry on the back . I can't even locate another pic of one so if anyone can help me with a direction to start in that would be great. I have thought about taking it to the local nissan dealers here in Hervey Bay to see if they know anything about it ?
Thanks Tony

It certainly is a curious thing,

It looks like a cross between the standard metal jerry cans with the flip top lid and the new plastic style made by Scepter that have the spout, screw cap and flat plastic stopper.

I wonder if it was for an overseas model and just happened to find it's way here.

Gday , It does have the basic shape and design of the standard jerry's that are everywhere but I have never come across one with the cap and spout as on this one, I was thinking that it might be an overseas one as mentioned but still haven't been able to locate any info.
Definitely a curious one that for sure.
Thanks
Tony

[threedogs]

Exactely the same as the Pajera one which may narrow your search down,
and positive it was around 1983-4

Try Google and look at images you can buy screw top jerry cans [Metal]

[bauer]

Gday all again. anyone got any other suggestions for finding info re the can. Ive tried that many different variations on google , ebay , gumtree etc to no avail. Anybody??

[threedogs]

If you hurry there is a OE Nissan patrol jerry can holder on EBAY ATM, Cant do link but will put Item Number 181123029433
buy this as it'll make your jerry can more expensive/collectable IMO

[93patrol]

we used to have the exact same jerrycan when i was a kid it came with our old 85MQ with the 2.8l petrol it was mounted on the back with the spare tyre on a after market swing away bracket. they are both had now though car's gone and the jerry ended up in an accident and got squashed

[bauer]

Gday all , Thanks for the ebay ID and the info of what truck its off. Have had a look at the ebay item and looks good only pickup though and im in Hervey Bay QLD but will email him tonight and find a bit more about it. Will try and search out a bit more MQ stuff now and see if I cant find a pic of the holder and jerry on a truck. Thanks again for the help and anymore info greatly appreciated.
Thanks TB

[threedogs]

I have an old catalog of Opposite Lock dating from late 70s to earl 80 I'll check that.
Not sure that frame was after market IMO I'd say OE as holes were in D pillar
The frame itself was tubular


Any early MQ/MK owers have OE swing away framework ??????

[prophet1]

Treasure it mate, makes me think of moving to Au. Here in god ole South Africa, you will never find that one. Enjoy

[threedogs]

@ bauer have you have any success with the jerry can holder on ebay, he had 2 for sale. to get it you might be able
to use the forum members and get them to you via a relay style system. I've been unble to find any info on it only the pajero
unit, but same jerry.all I know is they are wider than a STD jerry

[bauer]

Gday three dogs , Have got a reply and he is at 2753 NSW so have asked for dimensions weight etcn so can get idea of postage for item but courier system through forum members is great idea also. If I could get it to Gold Coast where the inlaws live that would be great. Need to win auction first as well. The other one he has I don’t think is one of them. The Pajero cans you mention do they have a two piece lid like the Nissan ones.
Thanks
TB

[threedogs]

I remember they had that same ribbed screw lid, when fitted to the 4x4 it looked complex but was a simple
back pack style webbing strap to hold it tight. Not that good on the computer but looking for the Pajero one might be easier than the Nissan one.
I cant remember the nissan ones at all, I can remember the external swing away tyre holder but not sure of model. When I first joined someone was retro fitting one
But cant remember who it was. I'll keep asking here, have you contacted the Nissan patrol club in your state. They may have one eyed members like the Landrover club.
By that meaning someone may have a stock STD example fully optioned.

[GQflxr]

want one of these...

[bauer]

Gday Three Dogs ,As it looks like you've been around a bit is there anyway that I can link this thread or connect it somehow to the MQ forum seeing as this jerry seems to be related to MQ and I,ve seen a few photoes of the ebay holder (which I,m about to stick a bid on) on the back of MQ spare tyre / jerry holders. Wouldn,t mind trying to get hold of one to graft onto the back of the GQ. Thanks for any help
TB

[threedogs]

A real luddite with computers, You only have 1.2 hrs left. Could PM AB and see if he's able to help.
Good idea grafting in onto a Q........... positive there is some pics on this. I remember as the guy put gussets up the D pillars.
Sorry I cant help more, buy the more complete one too. Goodluck, Price now is fair but for history about half again tops

I just googled MQ patrol parts and clicked images, you'll find heaps of pics of the rear bracket that holds wheel and jerry

[scottyo]

that looks sweet!
