Multi Fuel Bottles

G'day Marilu,

I've just had a look at the Multi-Fuel Bottle for you and no we don't think a servo petrol nozzle will fit into the bottle sorry.

G'day Joey,

The Trangia Fuel Bottle for Metho probably won't be the best option for carrying petrol. The MSR Fuel Bottle will be a better option and complies with regulations for all flammable liquids. 

I would stick to metho with these bottles Tony. the MSR bottles are suitable for Shellite, check them out here.

Thanks Bruce, we'll chase down that list and get it up on our website. Cheers :)

Mi Michelle, there isn't an exact answer here unfortunately, it's very dependant on what your cooking and the environment you are cooking in, there is a lot of trial and error when you get started, but I can give you some pointers to get going. The burner holds roughly 90ml, but it's probably more important to work out how much fuel you need for each meal and dispensing the fuel as you need it, it is best practice to transport fuel in the bottle rather than the burner. You can assume roughly 50ml of metho will boil 1 litre of water, and this will take approximately 10 minutes. Working backwards you can assume that 50ml of fuel gives you 10 minutes of cooking time. I would aim for 150 200ml of fuel per day as a minimum plus extra as a buffer for starters, record your usage and adjust accordingly on your next trip. So to answer your question, a 500ml bottle could cover you anywhere from 3 - 5 days depending on what you are cooking. It can be helpful to read up on other hikers experiences, the Bushwalk Australia forum is a great place for information, and do a few trial cooks at home to measure how much fuel is used to cook the meals you plan on taking. I hope this helps.

G'day Josh,

I've just checked for you, and we don't actually sell the 300ml Trangia Fuel Bottle. If you're after something of a similar size, we do have the MSR Fuel Bottle in the 325ml size - but it doesn't have the same valve as the Trangia.
