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 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.

Great fuel bottle. Seals very tight with no leaks. I store my lantern oil in this for my camping set.

i got this for my alcohol stove for many reasons. First off despite all my danger markings on a water bottle I was still worried I would mistake t for water, secondly I was an incompetent alcohol pourer and may have set a little small ground fire a couple times. This is solid and fixes my problem. I've taken it on 3 backpacking trips and am my quote convinced the spout will hold up but so far it seems fine.

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 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.

This is a neat little bottle that I use to store alcohol for my hiking stove. The unit has a knob on the top that one can use to secure the valve or rotate up so you can push the valve down to open it. The bottle is made of plastic and seems very durable. The unit is slightly heavier than regular fuel bottles. The valve system has two pour spouts which work well. The neat thing about the bottle is you minimize the amount of spilled fuel. Many carry additional small bottles with a squirt lid, with this unit you only have to carry one bottle. Another feature about the valve is IF you drop the bottle the valve will instantly close as it is spring loaded keeping your fuel inside the bottle and not spilling and/or causing a larger fire. Another feature is the color. Red, always an eye catcher as you know what it is. The UL hikers will not like it but for the added safety I will carry the extra weight. Great idea and a great piece of equipment.

I buy my alcohol fuel in larger metal cans so have been looking for something smaller and more convenient. Many UL backpackers use the lightweight polyethylene squeeze bottle types but even though they are cheap and sometimes well reviewed I a) want something bigger and b) would prefer to carry the weight than worry about splits and leaks! The trangia bottle is not the lightest plastic but it feels very robust so I have no real fear of leaks and splits. The top is very well designed with accurate pouring and breathing. The red screw button in the top is to lock the valve closed so that you can’t inadvertently spill the fuel through the spout. I have the 0.5l which should probably last a good while using my trangia twice per day.

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.

Die Flasche ist super. Klein, leicht, dicht und einfach zu bedienen. Der Brennstoff lässt sich super dosieren. Bin allgemein von den Trangia Produkten begeistert.

Muy práctico y de muy buena calidad

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

Good quality product, unique.
