Stove Alcohol Bottle.

[demographic]

Fairly sure meths knackers uncoated aluminium bottles after prolonged use. It strips the oxide coating off and just keeps corroding them.
Plus plastic bottle last well, never has a problem with the placky bottles that it comes in personally. I've had one bottle for years now, its light, see through so I know how much is in it easy and err cheap.

If I'm out for any length of time. amd using a trangia, I use the Trangia fuel bottle.
If I'm just out for the day, with a crusader/penny stove, I use a bottle from travel contact lens solution.

Trangia fuel bottle for larger volumes. Old stainless steel hip flask (suitably marked) for smaller quantities. Miniature spirits bottle are good for small amounts for a quick brew too.

For a small measure I have some of these,

And for a backup I have the one that comes with a SAT system.
For a weekend I have the Trangia in 0.5ltr

I was lucky enough to get a couple of those plastic flip top bottles our sprayer used for keeping small amounts of paint in . If use can use paint in them then meths is okay.

After I had Meths leak all over my kit while the rucksack was in the boot of the car, I bought a trang isa bottle. They are excellent but do defeat the purpose of a "penny" stove as the cost many pennies!

Better than your pack catching merry light when you walk past somebody having a smoke, though.

Druss, you'll have corrosion problems if you use a metal bottle, that's the reason the trangia bottles are all plastic.

You could also try this one http://www.heinnie.com/Flasks/Nalgene/Flask-350ml/p-638-1375-10947/

The aluminum beer bottles would make a more solid version of a coke can/ hobo stove. And with out constant fuel contact the corrosion issue wouldn't be a problem.

For less than 0.5 ltr; Swedish army mess kit (SAT) fuel bottle, for more than 0.5 ltr; Trangia fuel bottle(s).

Cheers for the responses, some great feedback. The Trianga looks good. A tad expensive but it looks like it's a tough bit of kit. I have a small meths bottle which was my plan to use and refil as needed, the thing that put me off and prompted this thread is that the bottle says in big letters "do not refill". I have a pal that's a landscaper so i will ask him about a 2 stroke bottle and see what sizes he has. I think the beer bottles would be a good idea for a stove project. Dave89 do you have any pic of the Lynx can stove you made? I'm intrigued.

The trangia bottles are great for fuel. Check on ebay you should be able to find one for reasonable price second hand.

It's a genuinely excellent design, tough as old boots and will last a lifetime. The valve screws down to make a total seal.

One of the few things you can look at and say, "this could not be improved".

A useful attachment for the Trangia fuel bottles is a short (say 100mm) length of plastic tubing which will push fit onto one of the spouts. It makes directing the flow a bit easier for priming lanterns and stoves.
