Things have changed with the MSR fuel bottle since the last one I bought 25 years ago:
* They've got this cool new bottle top that won't back off unless you treat it like a safety pill bottle top. (1. Push down 2. Turn...) That's actually nice, as it tends to keep the kids out of it, but it also makes it slightly less prone to accidentally working loose in the pack
* They've modified - slightly - the pour openings in the bottle cap. They used to both be round, but now one of them is oblong, making for a wider stream when pouring. Nice.
* They've got something like four paragraphs of warnings in three different languages printed on the bottle. That's OK, as 1) my eyes are too old to read print that small anyway and 2) I'm already fairly aware that white gas is flammable, not to be ingested, etc.
I like this 11 oz. size. It's small and light and really tough for its size. It's perfect for backpacking and I use it with my Dragonfly stove that tends to sip fuel. MSR bottles are great. They're expensive for what they are, really, but the quality is there and it's nice knowing that you can depend on your gear when you need to. I don't mind spending the dough if I know I can count on my gear when I may be miles from nowhere. All the MSR bottles are great- I especially like this size, but I also carry larger sizes for car camping, bigger groups, or as a bulk supply.Get more detail about MSR Fuel Bottle.
