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.

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 great fuel bottle with a simple easy to use safety cap, however like others have seem to been finding plastic shavings both in the bottle itself as well as like mine inside of the cap, which if missed can possibly lead to fuel systems getting clogged causing poor running conditions or even damage. Again it's a great product for it's use but definitely inspect it and clean it well before using.

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.

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!

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.

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

=== REZENSION FÜR PRODUKT === Trangia Sicherheitsflasche 0,5 l, 115 g === AKTUELLER PREIS === 15,99€ === KURZKRITIK === Die Trangia Sicherheitsflasche ist aus Kunststoff, fasst 0,5 l Brennspiritus und wiegt gefüllt unter 500g! Durch den Sicherheitsverschluss ist sie bisher absolut dicht, der Spirituskocher lässt sich super damit befüllen (problemlos auch, wenn stärkerer Wind geht). === LIEFERUMFANG === Trangia Sicherheitsflasche aus Kunststoff. Gewinde an der Flasche außen mit einem Metallring verstärkt. Belüfteter Sicherheitsausgießer mit Sicherungsschraube. === ERWARTUNG === Für meine Rucksack-Outdoorküche habe ich eine kleine Flasche gesucht, da ich normalerweise maximal 3 Tage unterwegs bin und nicht jedesmal die große Spiritusflasche mitschleppen wollte. Die Flasche sollte möglichst leicht sein, da ich sie im Rucksack tragen muss. === PRODUKTQUALITÄT/VERARBEITUNG UND PREIS-/LEISTUNGSVERHÄLTNIS === Die Trangiaflasche macht einen gut verarbeiteten Eindruck und hält auch bisher absolut dicht. Den aktuellen Preis finde ich dafür in Ordnung. === SONSTIGES === Am Verschluss befindet sich eine Art Öse, durch die ich mir einen Schlüsselring gezogen habe. Da ich die Flasche sicherheitshalber (falls doch mal etwas auslaufen sollte) außen am Rucksack in einer Seitentasche transportiere, kann ich sie so zusätzlich mit einem Karabiner gegen Verlust sicher. Nach dem Befüllen des Brenners und dem Wiederverschluss der Flasche, sollte man das Herrentoilettensystem anwenden (noch mal Abschütteln, damit keine Tröpfchen mehr im Ausgießer sind). Hat man die Flasche im Rucksack oder einer Tasche und die Tropfen laufen aus, riecht der ganze Rucksack danach. Die Flaschenöffnung ist übrigens so groß, dass man sie aus einer handelsüblichen Spiritusflasche problemlos ohne zusätzlichen Trichter befüllen kann. === PRO === + Durch die rote Signalfarbe ist sie auch in der Wiese leicht zu finden und durch die Beschriftung wird jedem der sie in die Hand nimmt klar, dass sich kein Getränk darin befindet. + Durch den Kunststoff bruchfest und dennoch leicht. + Cleverer Verschluss, durch den Eingießer mit Belüftung lässt sich der Spiritusbrenner eins A befüllen. === KONTRA === - Bis jetzt nichts Negatives zu sagen. === EMPFEHLUNG === Die Flasche entspricht genau dem, was ich mir erwartet habe und ist prima verarbeitet. Von mir daher volle Kaufempfehlung.

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.

I consider these Trangia bottles to be a godsend for liquid fuels and have used them for years. The spout system gives excellent control for pouring and prevents spillages when used with appropriate care. The plastic bottle is strong, thick walled and more than bomb proof enough to go into a bergen or other bag without worrying about it being crushed or punctured. It is a bit unnerving when opening the cap when it is tight and it can feel like it might not be strong enough for the twisting forces. But I have had no issues. Like anything else, just don't force it beyond what it can likely handle. The pouring spouts enable precise pouring into tight fuel reservoirs, like you might find on some stoves or lanterns. While letting the liquid run at just the right pace to fill your stove (or whatever) but still maintaining control. You inevitably end up with a drip or two due to the nature of the system. But this is minor and considerably better than having fuel run down the bottle sides as what often happens with other fuel bottles. The cap has a loop for hanging. To be frank, I would not trust it for hanging a full bottle. However, it is perfect for attaching a small silicone funnel via mini carabiner. Making it quite easy to return unused and cooled fuel to the bottle. The rubber seals keep the contents where it needs to be and I have had no leaks whatsoever. At 500ml, the ones I use can seem a little small for more than a couple of days of camping, but they are slender, so packing a few into a bag is no problem if you feel the need. I like the smaller ones as I find them very versatile whether I'm out for the day or a bit longer. There is always the 1L option if you need it. I have used one for the last twelve years to carry methylated spirit and it has never let me down. I also recently purchased another to carry paraffin and it does just as well with that also.

Muy práctico y de muy buena calidad

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