The issue occurs on PC (STEAM).

The player is able to pick up Gas Can, equip, view in inventory etc. However, upon entering a vehicle the Gas Can disappears entirely (issue occurred with a buggy).

Hey op, as some others have suggested, this isn't a bug, but the way the gas can interacts with vehicles while in your melee slot. This is to do with the added functionalities such as left click to pour gasoline on the ground, right click to aim and left to throw. Since this item "now" sort of behaves like a melee weapon in addition to its original purpose -> being able to fill the vehicle up with gas while having the gas can in the inventory, having it in your melee slot upon entering a vehicle would cause a conflict between pouring gas / aiming and throwing and fueling the vehicle. The devs are aware that the solution isn't pretty, and have said that this may get improved in the future.
