Someone Finally Made a Fuel Bottle That Isn't Terrible! - Trangia Liquid Fuel Bottle Review

Good review, but very repetitive. Could have been 1/3 the length.

I use a standard 330ml water bottle . I’ve marked the oz on the side. Yes the trangia is proper, but not essential 🇮🇪🇮🇪

Price went up to $67

Trangia🏆🇸🇪
My bottles has lost the color and printing.......

Considering one to transport fuel for my bike

I have no argument with the advantages of the Trangia bottle, but for those who already have a Vargo bottle, I have found that it fits completely inside a 1000 ml/32 oz wide mouth polypropylene laboratory reagent bottle, available on Amazon for $5.99. With the lid closed on the reagent bottle, any leak from the Vargo bottle should remain trapped inside. Not perfect, but better than rubber bands.

Dave Canterbury has some good plastic bottles on his website. Never had an issue.

Got the .5L version for almost 3 years, never failed a single time, love it

i’ve been using this bottle for 10 years now. one small problem is that fuel leaks through the top of the bottle where the locking screw is if tipped more than 90° too low. but that only happens when tipped too low. to solve the problem, add an additional o-ring below the screw lock. that would add an additional “leak proofness”. i hope the manufacturer would do the same.

Is this a good motorcycle fuel bottle? The standard - Primus / MSR / Wolfman - all sold out in the 1 liter almost everywhere.

I just received mine and was confused about the push button thing on the top as I couldn’t see a way to lock it. Now I know!

I was surprised it was plastic if I’m honest, I think I just expected aluminium or stainless steel! 😮

Only complaint I have now is that maybe the 1 litre is a little big for the sort of alcohol I like to carry, (mainly bourbon) as I don’t think even on the longest hikes I’d get through that much in a day. Perhaps the larger one is more suited to wine or even port.

I think I’ll buy another in either the 300 or 500ml version.

Thank for another great review, just ordered the .3L to go with my M40 stainless steel Swedish mess kit👍

What type of fuel do you use ?

Bizarre - I have both the Vargo bottle and the Trangia bottles in both the 1litre and 300ml. I prefer the Vargo bottle as it’s lighter in weight. I’ve never experienced the issues that you allege to have had.

Purchased mine from Amazon 2024-01-22, $21.49. It is the red one-liter, with the viewable volume strip.

My only issue was the plunger's screw nob. At first I thought the valve assembly was broken. The plunger nob was extremely tight, not tightened down tight, the nob itself was almost impossible to hand turn. No, not cross threaded just a very tight thread and nob connection issue. To turn the nob up and down the threaded post I needed a vice grip. My fix, use vice grip on the nob turning the nob all the way down and all the way up a gazillion times; added a drop of oil as well. It is much better and can be hand turned, yet could be too tight for someone with arthritic hands. Even with that issue I am looking towards a smaller bottle as well.

I can only get the 0.3L version in Canada.... For $42...

That top is so much better than the Sigg top, which you twist a bit to allow the run through the threads but I used that bottle for 40 years so be nice to upgrade. I think the double top is for airflow so you have a constant flow of fuel, that is smart.

After purchasing the .3 liter I was extremely disappointed that it did not have a fuel level indicator. Maybe you didn't know that for this video but it's an important detail making this purchase a waste of money for me. I'm sticking with the $6 Vargo which has an indicator and I can certainly solve your concerns, as you say, with a simple rubber band.

Purchased. I would like to see an all aluminum or titanium bottle in the future.

I have used this bottle for many years. My red bottle does not have the clear strip to see how much fuel is in it. This must be a new feature. Very cool.

Christ, you just got these in America now!! Where y'all been. Lol we been using these ever since Nelson had two eyes. Ya can't get better. It doesn't exist. Buying one is not even a question. Buy 2. They last a lifetime and yes you can buy spare taps too. There are certain pieces of kit that are simply essential regardless of cost. This is absolutely one of them.
What ya waiting for.....go.....run. shops open now!!

A video of your alcohol stoves collection would be dope..burn time flame shape bloom time ect ect

I'm glad these are finally becoming more available in North America, I've wanted to get one for my alcohol stoves for a while now. I ended up going with one of the Goshawk bottles because it's durable and seals securely, but it doesn't have a window for fuel level and the pour spout is just the opening on the top. Definitely not as nice as the Trangia bottles!

I just cant work out what size i need🤔

MSR makes a red fuel bottle…. You do have to be careful when you pour.

when it comes too outdoor equipment you know you never have to look further than Sweden, the industry leader in esentially everything outdoors is a Swedish brand, Hilleberg, Fjällräven, Trangia, Gränfors bruk, Hestra gloves, Mora knives etc etc.

Just received my red .3L Trangia fuel bottle from J. Rife Company of North Carolina. Happy with the bottle and the company. I didn’t want the bigger bottles because I only do day hikes and Amazon didn’t have the smaller bottle. Cheers and thanks for the review.

i've had this bottle for 2yrs, didn't even know you can screw down the push release button until i tried it! haha. Guess you learn something new everyday. but yeah its a fantastic alcohol fuel bottle, love it.

I have used the red Trangia bottle for years in Texas USA. The green bottle is new to me. I also have the Vargo, as more a smaller transport not for my backpack.

I got one of these many years ago before I switched to a gas camping stove, so I just put it away and forgot about it.

I just checked and it's still full of fuel.

These things really have a good seal.

There are so many Japanese Brands have great quality, such as snow peak, soto, mont-bell, etc, Will you have more Japanese product reviews ?

I use little 5hr energy bottles. each gives me 2 full burns, and a flask funnel can help recover. i can then pack 1, 2, or 3. . . 5hr energy bottles filled with ethanol as needed.

I just purchased the last 1 liter bottle on Amazon Canada.
Will be much easier to use than metal MSR bottles

Trangia vs. Shampoo bottle 😊

Seriously? You can use a plastic Cola bottle 0.33 or 1 litre, it costs nothing )))))

i boughtone of these same bottles 3 years ago. theydidnt just shpwup in the us.

Been around for years .

you can just light your sleeping bag on fire to dry it out.

Had 2 of different sizes for decades,both red but with no clear measure, it's never been a problem. This company have always made great reliable products, and if you prefer to cook with a gas stove they adapted the original cook set to accept a gas burner.

Someone school me...what is the purpose of an extra alcohol fuel bottle.....why not just bring another metal butane/propain bottle?

I have been using a Trangia-type push-button fuel bottle for over 20 years. I am amazed they were not available in the US. Does anyone know why they were hard to import?

I was gonna tell you you need to get out more, but I didn't know that bottle hadn't been available stateside! It is by far the best fuel bottle available when combining durability, weight, seal integrity and convenience/ease of use.

more winter shed camping please loan wolf mountain.

I've had the small red version for many years. Found it through Tetkoba's alcohol stove channel.

I had that bottle for 2 yrs now, I ordered it with my cooking stove set from them on their site during the Covid

I appreciate this bottle is new to USA, but very common in Europe. It is the best bottle for this type of fuel. Big debate here about double pour holes, but unsure why. From Trangia's website...
" The cork has a venting spout and a pouring spout that allows the liquid to flow smoothly, reducing the chance of spills." Screwed down tight there are no fuel leaks. I have the large bottle for longer trips and small bottle for day trips in red colour, which mightn't be that stealthy but lets everyone know its fuel. Expensive for what they are, but very well made and should last for years. Better still, in Europe anyway, you can get top valve replacement without ordering a new bottle.

By 'someone finally made...' I think you mean 'The USA finally woke up to...' as they have been made for decades. Interestingly though, on Trangia's website it says 'NOTE! Trangia fuel bottles can not be sold / delivered to Canada'. I wonder why not?

I've been using the 0.5L bottle to store pure ethanol for camping stove use for years now, I can confirm that it's had absolutely no problems.
I went through a few bottles that either leaked or chemically melted, but the Trangia just isn't bothered at all. Must be made out of Polyindestructolene or something.
