SPARKWHIZ Jerry Gas Can Holder, 5 Gallon / 20 Liter Steel Jerry Can Mount Brackets

What It Is

A universal steel bracket set for mounting a standard 5-gallon (20-liter) jerry can to a lawn mower, tractor, or utility vehicle. Designed for securing fuel containers during mowing or property maintenance, not for on-road vehicles.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Fits: Standard 5-gallon/20-liter NATO-style steel jerry cans (flat or recessed bottom). Not for plastic cans, rectangular gas cans, or smaller 2.5-gallon cans.
• Mower types: Zero-turn mowers, riding lawn tractors, and garden tractors with a flat rear frame or fender area. Not for push mowers or small walk-behinds.
• Mounting surface: Requires a flat, rigid metal surface at least 18 inches wide. Check for clearance behind seat, exhaust, and battery.
• Hardware: Includes bolts, nuts, and washers for up to 1/4-inch thick steel. Not compatible with plastic decks or thin sheet metal without reinforcement.
• OEM vs aftermarket: Aftermarket universal fit – no brand-specific brackets. Measure your can’s width (approx. 13-14 inches) and mounting holes (typically 9.5 inches center-to-center).

Key Things to Know

• Material: Heavy-gauge steel with powder-coat finish – resists rust but not indestructible. Avoid overtightening bolts.
• Installation: Moderate difficulty (30–45 minutes). Requires drilling holes in some mower frames. No welding needed.
• Gotcha: Not all jerry cans have the same side indents – the bracket’s lower lip may not grip tightly on thin-walled cans. Test fit before drilling.
• Stability: Holds securely when full, but a full 5-gallon can adds ~40 lbs. Ensure your mower’s rear axle or frame can handle the weight.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have a steel 5-gallon NATO jerry can and a riding mower with a flat metal frame area, and you want a simple, low-cost way to carry extra fuel without a dedicated tank. Skip it if you use plastic cans, have a small mower deck, or aren’t comfortable drilling into your machine.
