I know they make them for fuel, however, it’s generally better to use a metal jerry can if you have one available. It’s all to do with the static charge that is produced with the movement of fuel. Because the container is plastic there is nowhere for it to dissipate leaving the charge on the surface of the fuel. In a worst case scenario, what can happen is when you pour the fuel, the charge will find the easiest path to earth which will be the filler neck of the tank you’re pouring it into, and the end result isn’t good for one’s health.

I’m not saying not to use the plastic container, just be careful not to slosh the fuel around too much and when you pour fuel, do it slowly.

Here’s a link that points out some of the problems with static.
