5 gallons is a standard size of literal buckets, they can have lids but I might prefer carrying a bucket of diesel up 18 flights of stairs with no lid over trying to get one of those goddamn lids off.

Lots of gas cans are right around 5 gallons too; NATO 20L are 5.3 gallons, but widely available plastic ones tend to be 5 gallons as well.

Bucket lids are a PITA, but so is spilling diesel on the stairs.
