So it's five-gallon jug and jerry can then.
Only in American English. I doubt the metric world calls those big bottles five-gallon jugs, especially since they only hold four Imperial gallons. (Only the United States used US gallons in the pre-metric days.) Somehow nineteen-liter jug sounds impossibly awkward.
