    Comments about Optimus .4L Small Fuel Bottle:

    I carried this fuel bottle last week on the Appalachian Trail in Vermont. It was just what I needed to carry my extra portion of alcohol fuel needed for my cooking requirements. If going on longer trips with less re-supply points, I will probably purchase a larger volume bottle.

    Comments about Optimus .4L Small Fuel Bottle:

    In my opinion, a little small in most cases for fuel, except maybe for primer. I bought them for the large first aid kit because they're epoxy coated inside and will hold alcohol, peroxide, etc. Caps drive me nuts, but they actually work. I'm trying the MSR cap from [@] since they are offering free shipping as of Dec 2011.

    Comments about Optimus .4L Small Fuel Bottle:

    If I had have known they had such difficult to operate child safety caps I would have never ever in a million years have purchased such absolute garbage.

    Put an easy to operate cap that doesn't make me concerned that I may not be able to even get it open what I really need it and it would be a nice bottle. As it is... ouch, got me on this one.

      Comments about Optimus .4L Small Fuel Bottle:

      High quality and coated internally making it nonreactive with alcohol fuels. About the size of a soda can. I wasn't sure about the green color but it grows on you. Since I carry more than one fuel, having different colored bottles makes it easier to identify. Beats carrying a gallon can along. Am considering buying the 1L size for longer trips.

          This bottle is high quality with an epoxy coating inside making it nonreactive with alcohol fuels. Slightly larger than a can of soda, its appropriate for what I use it for, short car camping excursions when you don't want to lug a whole gallon along. Would also be useful for backpacking. Didn't know if I'd like the green color, but it grows on you. Since I carry more than one fuel, having different colored bottles helps keeping them straight. High quality and would buy a larger one for longer trips.

            I'm confused, does it hold .4 liter of fuel, or .25 liter?

              A:

              The Optimus Small Fuel Bottle is a quarter of a liter, so yes it is a .25 liter.
