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

[@Funkteon]

The double spout is actually not specifically for the purpose of pouring from 'both sides', it's actually so the bottle lets air into it as you're pouring alcohol from it to prevent that glugging action as the air tries to get in to replace the alcohol in the bottle. It means that you get a perfect pour stream every time until the very last drop.

[@johngalt6929]

Luke doesn't seem very technical at times.

[@Funkteon]

@@johngalt6929 I really like the products he chooses for review, but yeah, as a long-distance trekker who chooses isolated parts of the world, I would not take all of his technical advice.

[@choomanfoo157]

Neg you have it backwards, its the opposite. The two spouts are so it can be poured from both sides, which ever one you don't choose also lets air in so either side can pour. Luke is correct, you are wrong, well mostly wrong.

[@lamarwilliams185]

Does it matter? Yeah it matters that air can enter as liquid is poured out. The added benefit of being able to pour out both sides is a plus. They could build it so that you could only pour fluid out of one side!!!!

[@mastabas]

I was thinking about this the entire video and figured it out right at the end. Then I scrolled down to make a comment on it and luckily you had already done it.

[@rowerowyja9982]

ONLY FOR INTERESTED THOSE #1. The valve does not need to be tightened and locked so much (as shown in the video) - this is overkill. #2. Seals and threads can be lubricated with a dedicated grease (e.g. Molykote). Then everything works better and does not creak. #3. Not all bottle sizes have a liquid level indicator. #4. There are two rubber seals - an O-ring on the threaded connection and a flat pressure seal on the valve. They are interchangeable, but the material they are made of matters... #5. It is very important to remember that the fuel/fluid remains in the nozzle. Remember to shake the bottle. If you don't do this, you will have fuel in your luggage. #6. Fuel can be safely transported in summer, at high temperatures. When opening, remember about increased pressure.

[@RoseBrown-e3w]

Great tips. I stopped using the alcohol stove because of the fuel leaking out due to high temps.

[@engrmoutassim]

Bought it from Sweden and been using it for 7yrs. Not once did it fail me. Fantastic product!

Im from Sweden ❤

[@hansakermann]

Having used Trangia for many, many years, I have known these bottles for almost just as long. And they are very good 😊 Thousands of scouts and outdoors people in Europe have experienced the quality of Trangia products, and the popularity here speaks for itself 👍 They are not the lightest products ,but the ARE some of the best 💪

[@davem.2191]

I use an old mustard bottle. Works great for me. No issues. Been using it for a few years now with no leaks. Cheaper than Trangia bottles. But to each his own. 🙂

[@bcamping1]

I've been using 0,33L plastic juice bottle, wide mouth. Perfect for pouring alcohol back to bottle. Don't have Amazon link tho.

[@dansv1]

For several years I’ve used an Elmer’s glue bottle. Works great, no leaks. I decided to upgrade to the Trangia .5 liter bottle.

[@AWheeler45]

I was a bit surprised that this was being introduced as a newer solution as I lived in SoCal and bought one off Amazon in 2008 as a Boy Scout. Glad to see it getting some love. Great Product, Better Review, thanks Luke!

[@azaradog1804]

Luke mentioned they are very hard to get i his country, so maybe he had been unaware.

[@sajmonsays404]

Hi Luke and thank you for another great review! The main feature of this bottle is to prevent basically an explosion if you are refilling it when it is still lit (can sometimes be hard to see and mistakes happen). With an ”open cap bottle” fire will seek its way into the bottle and you reflexes will make you drop the bottle and you have a nasty fire around your camp. But with the spring loaded bottlecap it will close as let go of the bottle and the fire will be a lot less to deal with. I do believe there are some videos on youtube where this is illustrated.

[@TaivalOutdoors]

Been using Trangia fuel bottle for quite a few years now and I agree it's definitely worth the money. Mine is of the previous generation and without the fuel level indicator, but otherwise seem to be the same. Bomb proof product!

[@garth8979]

I've used one of these for about 3 or 4 years here in the UK. Great bit of kit. I have the smallest size and I've found it's more than enough for a weekend wild camp. I've always gone home with fuel to spare. I presume that's an updated version as mine doesn't have the clear fuel level indicator. For some reason only Trangia knows, the green bottles are plastic, but the red bottles are aluminium. But I don't suppose it matters.

[@alexanderslee]

I just checked Trangia’s website and both red and green bottles’ material is listed as: Polyeten (HDPE). However, there is a red aluminum version designed for the Multifuel burner X2.

[@PhilipNightingale-q6i]

Have used the trangia fuel bottles for years. Brilliant!

[@qtbearqt]

Hey Luke! I have the bottle in red. Really good bottle. Reliable and safe. I just noticed that your green bottle has the transparent fill line along the side! My red bottle doesn't have that! I'm a little jealous! I might get the green bottle simply because of the fill line on the side. Anyone else have the red bottle without the see-through fill line on the side?

[@WisconsinEric]

My 1L red Trangia bottle does not have the clear part on the side as shown in this video. it is 13yrs old. I think they were updated about 5-6yrs ago.

[@qtbearqt]

@@WisconsinEric possible I received new old stock... Interesting

[@IvanDP1967]

@@WisconsinEric I bought my red bottle about a year ago, no see through fill line on it even as recently as that.

[@azaradog1804]

My Red one doesn't have the view strip nor the unscrew pushdown top button, but a swivel erm...knob thingy! I bought it a few years ago now in Australia. I like it's red, it shouts safety and fuel beware for anyone and how hesvy dury the plastic feels. A good solid item.

[@Kcirtap-en7pz]

Trangia fuel bottle, the best and safest solution. Have two and I‘m sooo happy with them. 1 Liter as backup/Storage bottle at home, 1/2 Liter for my outdoor tours. Before I used two Vargo bottles and both leaked, even if closed. Do not, do never buy the Vargo bottles if you have the Trangia Option, not even if you like to go „ultra light“.

[@maskddingo1779]

Only problem with these is that it's not as easy to see if the bottle is "open" (top nut loose) as it would other bottles. It might look closed, but will leak if that top screw isn't tightened down.

[@azaradog1804]

​@@maskddingo1779 Well I suppose if you are that stupid that you can't see it is unscrewed (very obvious) maybe you are not safe to be let alone out in the woods. - not you personally 😊 that's a general 'you all'. ❤

[@4BB4S]

Great review. Been using in the UK for years. The two spouts are to allow air in while you pour.

[@bobhead6243]

Hello Luke , I have an older version of this bottle , only difference with mine is that there is no level window in it , It goes with the full Trangia cookset , I do not know weather you can get the cookset in America , bet it is a great combination , and has built in wind protection , and a stable design .

[@swehba]

I also own several of these bottles, and none of them has a clear level window. Is that window standard on all the new versions of the bottles? I can't find anything online that indicates whether or not the window is now a standard feature.

[@robertbaynham6909]

I've been using one for about 4 years now when I go camp mostly with pedle bike set up so lots of vibration on our lovely smooth English it's never let me down also the double spout has the advantage of letting air in to let you clear the spout after pouring as long as keep it on a bit of an upward angle with the cap pressed down and a couple of light tap with your finger normally clears the sprout for me.I don't massage very often so I would just like to take the opportunity to thank you for all your hard work I have found very beneficial over the years here in Herefordshire UK.👍

[@josephperreault4988]

I've been using the the Trangia Liquid Fuel Bottle for a little over a year now and I have to say it pretty good. I have noticed with the Trangia bottle though it works much better if you unscrew the bottle and press down on the valve mechanism to release any pressure in the bottle before you tip and poor or else sometimes you may get a little rush of fuel more than expected.

[@alexanderweaver7066]

I used a Vargo bottle and placed it into a gallon ziploc bag before putting it into my backpack. I'll order the small Trangia bottle. I like the loop allowing the bottle to be secured on the outside of the backpack.

[@evelynmacmillan2485]

With the Vargo bottle, since it has a lower price, use a new balloon, cut the top off and pull it over the cap off the bottle, problem solved.

[@matthewvelo]

Hi mate, I've carried the 500ml Trangia bottle inside my pack for over ten years of hiking adventures. Never, ever had a leak that wasn't due to operator error, so don't worry about needing to carry it externally. Just make sure everything is tightly closed. Happy hiking!

[@dr.andreasleofaulstich4125]

I have 2 Trangia bottels since more than 20 years. They are excellent. And if you ever accidentaly pour alcohol in a flame (never do this!) it will stop as soon as you relase it.

[@mrt7936]

Hi Luke i purchased this same bottle in the UK only a week ago, great bit of kits so easy to use. But as an added bonus these bottles are Certified for carrying Flammable products so have passed EU rules and regulations, and i believe the plastic part is made of the same Material that portable fuel/ gas cans are made of. (ones used for emergencies or the ones you use for filling mowers or chain saws) Another plus for this simple fuel bottle. Not sure if the America version would have it but Certification stamp is embossed on the bottom of my bottle. I must say i was looking along the lines of the old one you were using, i didn't even give a thought about spout lifting up, i'm glad i went with trangia bottle as I want to try out Alcohol stove on my out door adventures, only only used stick stove or gas. keep up the good work.

[@bcr7steve]

This is the first review I seen without a con. 👏🏻 I’ve watching for two to three years.

[@markperry222]

Rally glad to see that the US is now getting to know Trangia products. Trangia has been around for almost 100 years now, and they know their stuff. The products are all very fit for purpose. One of the great things about Trangia is that all of their cooksets are available in a choice of different metal finishes. Another is that you can buy any single item from any cookset on its own. So if you happen to loose the lid , you can replace just the lid, not your whole pot or cookset. They do spares for everything.

[@matthewvelo]

Absolutely - I've replaced aluminium frying pans with better, adonised versions and the rubber seals in the stoves. Bomb-proof, excellent kit.

[@davidf4897]

I've had Trangia 25 for 40 years. Have upgraded pots and added gas burner. Have Trangia mini ( Trangia 28) which is brilliant for lone campers and the Trangia triangle for compact cooking. Like most campers I've lots of stoves over the years but if I had to choose one it would be the Trangia 25, modded to suit me, with ss kettle, plates and gas burner. Outstanding.

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

These have been popular in Europe for many years. I've had one a good few years now and I really like it. I love my Trangia system as a whole. I have the 25-2UL kit with the kettle and the same fuel bottle as this but it's red in colour. I camped for a couple of months last year in France on a long road trip and I cooked every day on the Trangia. Great stove, great fuel bottle, all around such a good setup for car camping or similar. Great for emergencies too. The fuel is cheap, can be found at any European supermarket or hardware store and a litre of fuel goes a long way and can be stored for a very long time no problem.

[@Indian3454]

Thanks for the great review of a well thought out fuel bottle. I tried to find a safe fuel bottle for white gas thirty years ago, yep I said thirty years ago. I eventually went with a MSR aluminum screw cap bottle that came with my MSR Whisperlite stove. They are both still going strong and work perfectly. I never had a spill or leakage. Thanks again.

[@browsman2328]

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.

Along those lines I would love to hear about any faraday, drysacks, or water & fire proof bags for documents and electronics you may have tried out. I'm interested in going to the BWCA but I have items that need protecting and your thoughts would be helpful. Thanks !

[@charliemcdowell5231]

These are also my favorite bottles. I use a small one for white gas that I labeled and the pour spout perfectly refills my svea 123r without a funnel and can gently fill the priming bowl and soak the carbon felt wick I put on it.

[@1eyedjacksRwild]

A tip that I use with bottles like the Vargo is that when I am transporting my fuel I take a small square of plastic food wrap and double it up, remove the Vargo cap, put the plastic wrap over the opening, then screw the cap back on. When you need to use the fuel remove the plastic wrap set it where you can get it put the cap back on and pour your fuel. Replace the plastic wrap whenever you are done pouring your fuel.

[@Faust66]

Have had the Trangia bottles for a long time, don't know exactly how long but several years. They do work good with no spillage and easy operation. The newer aluminum one may be tougher but haven't had any problems with the plastic ones. Cost is secondary when it comes to preserving your fuel. Nice review Luke.

[@BrokenCurtain]

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.

[@Thereal111t]

I remember these being available from campmor or in the 90’s. I have several. They are very high quality. They are fairly heavy compared to other options and they don’t fit neatly into the ultralight alcohol stove philosophy for long distance hikers. For someone using a full Trangia system this is probably the best option. They’re also great for appliances with small fillers. They’re great for any of the Swedish camp stoves such as the svea123 or even something like a coleman lantern. No funnel required. My biggest con is that the lid can be very hard to remove. I wish they made a dedicated wrench that fit around all of the random protrusions on the cap. For myself I use a plumbers pipe wrench. This is for filling which is something done at home so an iron wrench isn’t weight prohibitive. Even so I find myself crimping the vent/spout holes a bit.

[@wisenber]

I had the same issue with alcohol bottles and bought a Trangia bottle about fifteen years ago at Mount Rogers Outfitters in Damascus. For my liquid stoves, I use metal bottles as the plastic Trangia bottles shouldn't be pressurized. The Trangia bottles are a lot more heavy and a lot more expensive, but you're much less likely to find your alcohol spilled in your pack, and the spout works great.

Definitely not as nice as the Trangia bottles!

[@ricdonato4328]

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 bought it at a Dollar General for $5.00, so really no beef with the cost. This bottle you are showing though is just what I am looking for. Like You Luke I have had issues with the same type bottle you were using, which is why I bought a flask.

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.

[@davidf4897]

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.

[@richarddaugherty8583]

Great review, Luke! I have this bottle in red, and just because I believe in Murphy's Law, I always carry it in a ziploc bag anyhow, even though I can't see how it would ever leak. My theory is that if something contains liquid, it will find a way to leak someday. Probably because I did something stupid like forgetting to lock down the top! :)

[@edpikestone6800]

Been using on for years - by far the best product on the market. amazing price to.

You can simply wrap the entire cap of the Vargo bottle with a full layer of electrical tape to seal it until you're ready to use it. Only takes a second to wrap/unwrap and it doesn't take much tape either. Just a suggestion.

[@danaboatman954]

The dual spouts are a great idea. The spout you're not using acts as a chimney to allow air in, which lets it pour without going glug glug glug.

Old classic style version of Trangia fuel bottle is to use normal SIGG-bottle then drill a 2-3mm a hole horizontally strait true the top cap under the o'ring. Then you get "two nozzles" and don't need to unscrew the top completely to pour fuel out our spill out to musth when pouring. Been using same SIGG-bottle for 30+ years.

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.

Love Trangia. Always have. Always will.

I just got the same one from your Amazon link a few weeks ago and the bottle has no window it’s solid green or red

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 use an old aluminium water bottle sprayed red. Seals great.

Huh. Did I buy mine from outside the country? I’ve had a Trangia fuel bottle for years. Works really well!

Those bottles are really good, I have used mine for 20 years at least

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