Yes its been on the agenda before. Does anyone know when and where one can place a jerry can.
I am at the top end with 250lt tanks maximum legal in all mainland states. We travel to remote areas most of the time. I have a spare Jerry can holder that I have mounted on the rear bumper bar sitting 250mm back in from the spare tyre. In other words the spare tyre protrudes 250mm beyond the same can holder.
Q. Can one still carry Diesel, Not petrol, on the rear. Or do I make up a sign saying water only.
I saw a brand new 200 landcruiser today, with dual ARB Jerry Cans holders with two cans mounted on the rear, Plus all the extra fruit loaded on it with ARB, ARB stickers from the front to the rear.
What's truly legal please.

Don't know the law but I carry 2 jerry cans of diesel (when needed) on the roof rack. Out of the way and I feel it is safe.
If you have 250lt of fuel you won't go to too many places that you will need to carry extra fuel. My tank on a 4x4 is only 80lts and I have been to the Cape, SA desert and towing a van all over Oz.
Good luck

Why don't you just ask the Police. Why would you want to take a public risk by putting 'water' on the jerry cans??
Sometimes i wonder if this forum is PLAY SCHOOL!!

Hi Jim. My van came with two jerry can holders built onto the towbar.
I have them both with red cans holding diesel. I used red ones as I had a pile of them from previously owned a boat (petrol).
I checked with W.A Police traffic enforcement and they don't have issues with colours - they see it as a marketing tool by the makers just to sell more for the various liquids commonly put in them and they didn't have issues with diesel jerry cans being on the rear. They would have concerns if they held petrol though.
I have travelled though SA, VIC and NSW, as well as WA with them on the back and had highway patrols behind me and never been stopped

I am at the top end with 250lt tanks maximum legal in all mainland states. We travel to remote areas most of the time.

Q. Can one still carry Diesel, Not petrol, on the rear. Or do I make up a sign saying water only.
I saw a brand new 200 landcruiser today, with dual ARB Jerry Cans holders with two cans mounted on the rear, Plus all the extra fruit loaded on it with ARB, ARB stickers from the front to the rear.
What's truly legal please.

the way I read it the sign would be a reminder to jim to only carry water in the holders

If swallowing diesel or even the mouthful of petrol was poisonous? I would be dead long ago . Easy up guys .. Sheesh !! I wouldn't suggest wrong labelling though . I would think more about load balance . The lower the better .
