Fuel Bottle 1-Liter

I am a big fan of this fuel bottle, and from my searching, it seems to be the #1 item to store/transport alcohol fuel. It is certainly the professional way to go about backpacking with an alcohol or multi-fuel stove. Depending on the toxicity of the fuel one is using, it is a great item to use to ensure no leaks, because that methanol in denatured alcohol or HEET is some very nasty stuff if ingested or absorbed in the skin. I have been using Everclear for the guaranteed saftey at the bit higher fuel cost... while also allowing for spiked drinks on the trail, hah. Ok, so maybe you aren't convinced from just the safety perspective. This thing should have some great features above and beyond a home-brew bottle/storage solution, right? To that, indeed it does. First and foremost, it is a durable plastic bottle with a reinforcement ring around the neck. The overall weight is lighter than I expected. The screw cap is where the real safety and convenience come into play, though. The cap's threads are sealed via a snug-fitting O-ring, and the release valve is sealed by a spring-loaded rubber contact seal. It is simplicity itself, and well-crafted. To dispense the fuel, simply partway unscrew the plastic nut on top, which will allow some head room to push down on the assembly against the spring and open the contact seal, allowing fuel to flow. One caveat, push on the top button with the bottle upright if fuel is stored, because there will likely be some evaporated fuel under a bit of pressure, which will prevent sputtering when dispensing the fuel. edit: I am embarrassed to say that I forgot this step recently and the earlier hot day built up some pressure that sprayed a fine mist of alcohol up into the air and a bit on my head, fortunately it wasn't methanol Also, one drawback to the system is that if the bottle is held at too high of an angle while dispensing will allow fuel to flow out of both nozzles. I like the simplicity of the two nozzles, allowing one to act as an air inlet, but at the same time I feel it could have been made a little bit more fool-proof by instead having an air inlet with a simple check valve to prevent undesired fuel flow out the top side. Still, being careful to hold a full bottle horizontally, having some common sense, and practice will all make for a spill-free experience. This thing is near-perfect for dispensing small amount of alcohol fuel. Oh, and don't forget to shake a little bit of fuel out of the nozzle and tighten the top nut again in order to press the contact seal snug (not too tight).

This is a backup for my motorcycle. I've had a few close calls. The Trangia Fuel Bottle has been an absolute lifesaver during my outdoor adventures. Its durable construction and leak-proof design give me peace of mind, knowing that my fuel is safely stored without any risk of spills or leaks. The compact size fits perfectly in my backpack and the storage container of my motorcycle. and the screw-top cap ensures easy refueling without any mess. Whether I'm camping, hiking, or backpacking, this fuel bottle is always by my side, ready to fuel my stove whenever I need it. Overall, I highly recommend the Trangia Fuel Bottle to anyone in need of a reliable and convenient way to carry fuel for their outdoor activities. It's a small investment that makes a big difference in ensuring a hassle-free outdoor experience.

I use these for supplying fuel-grade alcohol for the Trangia stove spirit burners I have. They're supposed to be good for petroleum-based fuels as well. What it is not is a pressure container for pumped burners. It has a safety cap, you unscrew the nut a few turns, push the stem down to release any pressure inside beforehand, then push it down again to pour into the burner. Top snout lets air in so you get a steady stream out the bottom snout with no glug-glug and no fuel spray over the surroundings. When done, screw the nut down and it's as leakproof as it gets. Have never had a problem with them and some of the bottles have ended up on their sides in the back of a hot van. The bottles themselves are heavy wall semi-rigid plastic, I think you'd have to drive over one to damage it. But currently not cheap on this side of the pond. Nothing here to corrode or seize up like with a metal bottle. Still think they're worth the cost. Nothing like the thin and cheap blow-molded containers others sell for fuel bottles.

Fairly lightweight and skinny enough to pack easily. If I were to purchase again, I'd get the smallest size. I love the dispensing functionality of this bottle. I'm giving it 4 stars because the plastic cap and plastic threads seem brittle. I'll be curious to see if this product will hold up to the rough rigors of backpacking in the long term.

Very convenient in the half liter size for a three day stay. I like to use alcohol stoves as both a supplement to fire making kits and as an emergency or convenience camp kitchen. This bottle holds enough to burn an efficient stove for a couple hours or longer (one cup of water boils in about 8 minutes over the burner at high efficiency) so you could make a good lot of coffee or dehydrated meals in spite of rain or bad winds at camp. The Trangia Spirit Burner also holds fuel within so coupling these two items makes for an even longer fuel reserve in about as much space as a 20oz Coke bottle. The spout is unmatched and like others have said, well worth the price; not a drop wasted, no dangerous spills and a very ingenious and safe design and packaging. The plastic is substantially thicker than I would have imagined to protect from puncture or crush forces, which I like. The exterior of the bottle is loaded with warnings and information so you know whatever's inside is volatile. Great product!

I like using my canister stove partly because the gas canister is very strong and highly unlikely to leak. To use one of my alcohol stoves I would really want a bottle for the denatured alcohol that was very strong and designed to not leak ever, if only someone made something like that . . . Here it is! A bottle that is very tough and strong, doesn't leak with a screw down safety knob that means that nothing pressing on it will open the valve - and for an added benefit it has a very good pouring spout that makes it easy to fill an alcohol stove without making a mess. If I'm going to use an alcohol stove instead of a canister stove then this is the bottle that I want to take to keep my fuel in. Totally worth the cost for the safety and pouring ability of this bottle IMO.

A must-have item if you backpack and use alcohol / meths stoves. The 500ml is a bit big. My trips are only about 5 days at most, so I carry the 300ml size. These bottles are hard "plastic", not metal, so alcohol, which always attracts water, will never corrode them. Read the labels on the metal fuel carry bottles - they warn against filling with alcohols. These bottles are so strong that you could stand on one and not damage it. The pour spout seals completely and makes controlled delivery into your stove a no-drip no-spill, easy to meter event. An absolute must for extended journeys. And yes, you can carry any volatile liquid in them. The sold-only-in-Europe units clearly state that, but the sold-only-in-North-America units have -gasoline- marked out, most probably for product liability reasons.

Wow still use this thing quarter full with fuel I keep up right the top seals but not as good as it was new keep in car trunk use to heat water for my coffee burner at rest stops when i travel. still looks new .

Die Flasche ist leicht und lässt sich sehr gut im Rucksack unterbringen. Da läuft nichts aus und beim befüllen des Spirituskochers nichts daneben. Sehr zu empfehlen !

Dopo aver acquistato in momenti precedenti il fornello ad Alcool Trangia e il supporto portatile "Triangle" sempre della trangia ho deciso di completare il set. Fino a questo momento mi sono "arrangiato" con una bottiglia da centrifuga per uso microbiologico /chimico della Nalgene, capacità 250 mL. Comoda da trasportare, però poco pratica perché ha la bocca troppo larga per l'utilizzo che ne stavo facendo. La Borraccia Trangia per il trasporto del carburante è invece specificatamente sviluppata per questo utilizzo (grazie a Dio), permettendo di dosare la quantità di combustibile da versare nel fornelletto e di trasportarlo in sicurezza. Molto comodo il sistema di blocco del dosatore. In generale restituisce un forte senso di robustezza e di qualità tipico dei prodotti Trangia.

Muy práctico y de muy buena calidad

Good for storing and carrying Alcohol for my Trangia Alcohol Stove.

Good quality product, unique.
