The bottle has a three-month capacity. However, caution is necessary: Keep it away from heat or any heat source, keep it out of the reach of anyone other than yourself, especially children, make sure it's well sealed, don't use or store it anywhere where there's a risk of damage to the bottle, check the bottle frequently for leaks, and use best practices to keep it safe, as it contains flammable fluid and should be treated as such.
MSR, Optimus, and other pump stoves are compatible with this thread. The maximum fill level without the pump is 890ml/31oz.
The price and the paint on the bottle's exterior are the only differences. Otherwise, the bottle's quality and threading are identical.

So far, so good; this thing performs as well as comparable models costing twice as much; it's light but incredibly durable - There are no seams or protruding edges, and the o- a ring or a gasket I stuffed it into my fender bag wrapped in a towel after filling it to the brim (oops) and threading the poly top down. I came to a halt after 40 miles on a bumpy trail in 100-degree heat to inspect it. There were no leaks, the towel didn't smell like gasoline, and the expansion was non-existent. issue. Now that I've seen how well they hold up, I'm planning to buy a few more. I'm not going to spend any more money on the other brands.
This is fantastic! I placed an order two months ago for gasoline and oil to be carried on motorcycle trips. Both have come in handy on several occasions. They've been through a 45 mph crash (lowside) in soft fabric saddlebags with no damage; Paint scratching from jostling (not from the crash) is the only sign of wear and tear they've noticed. When I fill them cold and try to open them hot, the pressure from the fuel vapors makes them difficult to open, but turning the cap with a screwdriver has always worked. But I just ordered another, and instead of a red lid, I got a black one? I suppose it's useful for distinguishing them!.
This is fantastic. I have two, one of which I gave to my brother as a present. For the past month, I've had fuel (gas) in them on my motorcycle with no odor or mess. The caps are secure and easy to open, and the entire bottle appears to be well-made. I went out and purchased some snow-making equipment. I cut the tips off of paper cones and use them as funnels for filling and transferring fuel to my bike.
This, at least in my experience, remains sealed. I'm still trying to keep it upright so as not to put it to the test, but it's holding up well so far. I put it through its paces by taking it on a few long hikes. In the field, it has never been used before. I prefer to burn wood, but fuel is ideal for trips that are hampered by rain and high winds. Get the wood stove out of the cupboard.
I keep them in tubular plastic storage containers with hard sides.
I frequently ride in rural areas and have been concerned about running out of gas on occasion. I didn't need it on my last 600 mile trip, but it's better to have it than not have it. 1 Litre won't get me very far, but it beats pushing my bike. br>I put it in my hard bag with the top up, but it hasn't leaked at all, and there isn't even a whiff of gasoline in my bag. The quality is excellent, and the price is very reasonable.
It was delivered on time, and the box was in excellent condition, albeit slightly oversized. The fuel bottle, on the other hand, was in poor shape. There's a big dent and a small but deep abrasion on it. It will function properly, and I will not return it, but the condition was not accurately described. Although it is damaged, it can still be used. Only minor scuffing or scratches would qualify as good condition.
On a sportbike, I went on a long journey through sparse deserts and remote mountain roads. Long range isn't something that comes naturally to sportbikes. I needed something to fall back on in case something went wrong. This little guy had enough emergency fuel to get me where I needed to go in an emergency. It traveled over 2500 miles in my saddlebag without spilling a drop of water. It was a wise decision.
