From memory to carry it as a DG it would have to be in the original 200L drum, all sealed up and consigned as DGs on a freight only flight.
However if its a private flight then you can do as you please, however I wouldn't have thought it would have been a smart idea to carry fuel in jerry cans though. Mind you, I knew a guy who used to carrying plane loads of explosives on private flights!
Obviously tired of living
