Where does the Jerrycan (CanisterGasoline) spawn on Chernarus?

On Chernarus, Jerrycan (CanisterGasoline) can spawn at 4,312 loot points, out of 26,967 that its containers offer — the rest are slots it is physically too large for.

Most are around Berezino, which holds 247 of them. After that: North West Airfield, Rify and Novaya Petrovka.

Those points sit in sheds or workshops, wrecks and scaffoldings.

302 of them belong to the Derailed train dynamic event, which moves when the event respawns — so those are not a fixed address the way a building is.

The central economy aims for 50 on the map at once, with a floor of 30. Each one lasts 8 hours on the ground before it despawns.
