It's a bottle.

If it leaks when new it is probably due to a burr on the outside or inside edge of the mouth where the mold creates a seam. Remove the offending cap and feel for a burr on the rim of the bottle. Trim lightly with a sharp knife of file gently with a nail file.

Also when climbing to altitude, the change in pressure can force a leak. I always squeeze some air out of the bottle before closing it creating a slight vacuum. Be sure to tip it so fuel doesn't go up into the reservoir when doing this. I also keep it on the outside of the trash bag liner in my pack. Unless I sit on it, it doesn't leak.

It's slender and great for measuring, but since it leaks, it has to remain upright in the pack inside doubled zip bags to ensure the leaks are contained. That single flaw negates all the positive aspects. I wouldn't have bought it had I known it leaks simply because I don't like to deal with the messiness of spilled liquids even if they are contained in plastic zip bags.

Being able to easily measure the fuel going into the stove allows me to carry less fuel and cook more safely.
