How do I fill jerry cans?

I picked one up, took it to the large gas cylinder outside a gas station, tried right clicking on the jerry can in my inventory, setting the jerry can on the ground, etc.

Are the cans full when you find them? If so, how do you refuel a motorcycle? I tried doing it with the jerry can in my inventory, in the bike's inventory, on the ground, etc. with no results.

You walk up to a gas tank (usually the large ones behind the gas station)...stand in the middle of it, and click "fill jerry can"

There are numerous places to fill the cans too, not just gas stations.

I'd love to find an empty Jerry can so that I could make a video on filling them, but usually the ones I find are full :/

long white tanks with yellow band are the ones that refill. the rusty ones can't. the short white ones (LPG) cannot. petrol stations without any of those are just eye candy

I tried that, Rakkasan, but couldn't get a "fill jerry can" option to pop up. Is the option opened by right clicking on the can by chance?

kreaol, do they have a symbol similar to the water bottle when empty (the red circle and line?)? Because if so, that would have been my problem on filling the can, but it doesn't explain why I couldn't get an option to put the gas in my motorcycle.

Empty Jerry Can = Can with red circle/line

Refilling Can = Action Menu (Scroll) - May take a while to find the sweet spot to activate it.

and I've had luck refilling at Large Rusty Tanks.

Thanks, so that means that my can was full and the issue becomes why I couldn't use it to fill my motorcycle.
