BETTER BUY THAN THE OLD METAL SIGG BOTTLE

Much safer particularly if taking out groups of kids. Do not break your fingers whilst trying to get the fuel out. Does not dent and is tougher than alloy
Possibly prone to leak if tap flow is not secured properly (user error not design flaw)
A good bit of kit, very impressed, if you take out youth groups and use liquid fuel cookers this is a must buy item.

CRAZY TO CARRY METHS IN ANYTHING ELSE

Simple design-not much to go wrong
Does not leak
Easy to pour from
Bit heavier than a plastic bottle, but that's being nitpicky
Bit pricey
I am upset over my loss of this bottle (left it on a bus).

After many experiences of meths leaking from metal fuel bottles and making everything in the rucksack smell (and taste) of meths, this has been a life saver.

It is not worth the risk of spilling nasty meths everywhere not to get one.

Should last if you don't lose it.

FUNCTIONAL

Hardwearing and leakproof. Weight neglible. Stopper allows you to pour or drip.
The stopper can get very stiff and you need to use the pan holder to unscrew it. I have'nt bothered lubricating it though so that may be why.
Certainly good enough to carry your meths in.
