A jerrycan??? As in a petrol jerrycan??
I'd be worried to suggest much thee then boiling water.
What do you intend to do with it after?
What has been its use to date?

Im guessing this is a jerrycan you've been using to transport RO/salt water?
Try boiling water, if no use try liquid carbon or algicide but give it avoid rinse out after

can a small amount of unscented bleach not be used? i cleaned out a 100l barrel with a solution of 1/10 before using it for water changes for my discus tank without problems.

I did this too. If your ultra paranoid, after leaving the bleach and water to kill it off, add some fresh water and seachem Prime to neutralise the bleach.

boiling water or a goos blast from the hose pipe work for me.
