If you had an accident travelling to the job, the results could be Very Bad. At least with the official containers they offer a certain degree of protection, and the lids won't pop off under the slightest pressure.

Borow a mule to carry the fuel
I have not read the whole thread but if it has not been mentioned Oregon do a 3 litre petrol container with a 1.5 litre one attached for oil , About 17 quid and you could cut them apart.
Late to the thread but if reusing containers from other sources then some olive oil comes in tins with a screw cap and integral retractable spout. common sizes are 1l 2.5 and 3 litre. I’ve been using a 3l one for petrol for a couple of years now with no problems.
Of course unless you are in a position to go skip diving purchasing such a container with olive in it is going to cost a fortune.

I'm intrigued why carrying a partly-filled 5 litre can needs someone to organise it whereas carrying a full 2 litre can doesn't. Presumably either way you fill the container from a bulk supply (eg a 20 litre metal jerrycan) back at base, since 2 litres is less than the 5-litre minimum that most petrol pumps are allowed to dispense (for that this restriction is worth!).
Is there a problem with carrying a full 5 litre can, apart from the extra weight?
