Trangia 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).

I got this to put gas in to take when I go motorcycle riding. I've never run out of gas before and am diligent about keeping my tank filled. Rather to be safe than sorry to carry a little extra fuel. I was already familiar with this product, due to being purchased by an individual I know. He liked it and highly recommended it. He was right. It is priced right and a very solid and well made fuel container.

This one is made of plastic (like your fuel jugs). I replaced the spout and use these to carry measured diesel additive during refueling. I carry these in bed of my truck tied to side hook due to the bad smell of additive. I.e., don't want to store in cab. These get bounced around and go through huge temp shifts in a black topped truck bed in Texas. I've had zero issues and perfect size for additive with proper air gap to handle high temp changes.

Nice bottle for storing and transporting Heet for my alcohol burners, I like the controlled pour and safe storage. I have used all types of bottles and fought the need to buy a bottle like this one when I could get a serviceable bottle for free until my fuel leaked out of my cheap free bottle leaving me with no fuel for a three day hike. I was able to salvage the trip by using wood as a fuel source since I was carrying a wood burner as a stove stand. I like this bottle design so well after a few uses that I bought all three sizes. The four star rating is based on the cost... this is a very pricy solution. I like this bottle set up so much I ordered all three sizes

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.
