Have used them for 14 years with NO problems. Love them. Wish I could get more. They have been on 40+ trips.

They aren't just red. They were made to different standards to hold up to gas eating plastic, explosion and other things that relate to volatile fuels.

I use the MSR fuel bottles. Never have felt the need for anything different.

Quite pricey! Also they only ship to AU and NZ. Can you Google a bit more?

It's not a trip changing piece of gear. It is used to refill the MSR fuel bottle (has a built in pour spout). Saves a few ounces of weight over the OEM bottle.
I love them, but I don't recommend using them to squirt fuel on the fire :-)"
how does bringing another bottle to refill a different one save weight? am i not understanding? ok..i think i get it now, one aluminum and a plastic "bladder".

they were wonderful for precise pouring into white gas stoves. I got some eight of them back in 2006 in England for the Wabakimi Project. They were discontinued back then and even in Europe hard to find. But it gave me a great excuse to go to some 60 outdoor stores in the UK.

Piragis Northwoods Company carries a great selection of Nalgene bottles and containers. Some round and some square. Can't see why they wouldn't work. Can't see why the bottle needs to be colored red.

I recycled a couple of aluminum bottles that fuel addative(Fuel Injector) came in and use those for fuel storage. The only down side is they do not have a large volume capacity. They do have a really narrow opening which eliminates my need for a funnel when refilling my stove.

I used to have probably a dozen of them! But everytime I go on a trip, someone would say "I really like that" so I would give it to them. I am down to only 3 or 4 left. Didn't realize that they had become collectors items!

if you are looking for Nalgene bottles, check this out:
Nalgene bottles
Here is a 32 oz bottle:
32 oz Nalgene bottle
I use methanol for fueling my alcohol stoves. I just put it in clear plastic vinegar bottles and have not had any problems.

I'm looking for a 1000ml(32oz) fuel bottle like this. I wish I had bought two before they were discontinued. I have located 500ml ones but not the 1000ml.
|

I wrote Nalgene to verify that they are no longer in production in any country. I was hoping they maybe had them in Europe.
No longer in production anywhere.
They have not answered back yet as to why.
There is a 500ml avalible on madison CL.
I forgot where a saw the other 500mls for sale.

I have one, but it's not for sale. I have two questions: 1) Why is it important to you? 2) Does anyone know why they were discontinued, especially if they are popular?
I know I like mine because of the built in spout. Also because it has a little give and isn't a hard spot in my pack.

I buy Coleman fuel in the plastic bottle and just use that bottle sealed up in a ziplock bag.

Cooper if you don't want it I am interested. Just e-mail me directly.
I like it for the reasons Bannock mentioned. If Barb answers me back from Nalgene as to why they discontinued it I'll post it.

I have one, but I'm not quite ready to get rid of it, even though I will probably just use my canister stove from now on.

I like it Bannock for the same reasons you mention. I know Ive seen on some backpacking forums that they use platypus bladders but the bottle seems more puncture proof for fuel.
Andy GS where do find Colman fuel in plastic bottles? I always see it in 1 gallon metal cans.

I didn't even know there was such a thing. Interesting.

How about using a lighter fluid bottle? Those will take white gas without melting and you get the spout and softer sides.

The last one I bought was at Wal-Mart. It's about one liter, but does not have the spout. I pack a small plastic funnel in the ziplock with the fuel.

There is one listed on ebay right now. Not the $85 one either!

This was the reason they e-mailed me for the discontinued fuel bottles.
I bought one from a fellow member here.

Andy, I got the same idea and bought a quart container of Coleman fuel last time I was at Wal-Mart. Way cheaper than spending $20 on an aluminum pressure bottle that I don't need, since I have a Coleman stove with an integral tank. Was about to poo-poo your idea of putting the bottle in a Ziploc, thinking that the fuel would melt it if there was a leak. Just did an experiment, poured some Coleman fuel into a Ziploc bag, and verified that the fuel did NOT melt the bag. So it looks like the Ziploc is a good backup in case the Coleman bottle leaks.
Just curious, have you had problems with these bottles leaking, or just being cautious?

I bring the coleman bottles up. I purchase them from Midwest Mountaineering. I WISH they didn't leak, but I always *count* on them leaking a bit. I double bag the coleman bottles once they have been opened. I wish the bottles were made better.

I no longer use the red plastic coleman bottles when tripping. Mine DID leak. I went out and bought one of those 30 fl oz. MSR aluminum bottles to keep my fuel in. Interestingly enough, my stove does not leak. So between the two, I probably bring enough fuel with me for 3 weeks, lol.

I have two of them and really like them. These bottles were made before coleman started selling fuel in the smaller plastic bottles. I think the reason they were discontinued was because some of them had problems with leaking and were returned to nalgene company for replacement. I have not had a problem with leaks in my bottles.

Some of the Scout camps still use them. When we were at the Northern Tier base ouside Atikoken this past summer, one of the two bottles that we took out was the Nalgene.

I take multiple bottle of fuel and this is my refiller for my actual alluminum MSR bottle, the plastic is lighter then taking an additional alluminum one. As I said earlier a few ounces and the built in pour spout is not a trip changing piece of gear.

I bought three of them about 20 years ago and still use them. Never fill them completely, leave room for expansion and also compression if somebody kneels on the pack. Never a problem.

I have been using the HDPE narrows for my HEET storage for my alcohol stoves with no problems!

Some time back they told me that it cost too much too build them. The standard for a fuel bottle w/ the government regs became prohibitive.
I have two quart ones and four pint sized ones I found at a salvage place. I actually drove over my quart bottle and sqeezed out a small amount of gas thru the cap but the bottle actually held and I still use it. They were/are great!!

I'm thinking any high density polyethylene (HDPE) bottle will do the trick. HDPE is used for many things inlcuding fuel store.

Been following this. Love those red Nalegen fuel bottles but seems they have not been available for quite a while. My outfitter also bemoans the loss. Since I have a whisperlite and a dragonfly, I stocked up on MSR aluminum bottles which work fine - but they were pricey for sure. Hopefully with no more than a new o-ring from time to time they will last my liftime.
